Looking for some advice, ideas, anything you got at this point really lol. I've been trying to get my 97 tj, 2.5 5 speed to start for a week, with no real luck. I had a short in the downstream o2 sensor and popped the ASD fuse in uhwarrie, replaced the fuse fired back up and then died 30 seconds later. I got it back home, repaired the wiring and it fired for maybe 30 seconds. Never popped the fuse again, but now I have no spark. In the past week I've ripped the out the entire harness out from under the jeep and inspected it, replaced the ASD fuse and relay, replaced the crank position sensor, replaced the distributor, replaced the coil, replaced the distributor sensor and replaced the computer. Everything has been replaced with new over the counter parts and when they didn't work I put the old component back in and tried it again for good measure. At times I've been able to get it to start and run for about thirty seconds but not enough time to daig anything or throw a cel. I can find no other issues in the harness, but I still have no spark. I am out of ideas, I've got nothing. Any ideas you guys can offer would be greatly appreciated. Seriously tell me replace the windshield hinges with some baller stainless steel ones and I'll probably try it to see if it'll work.
Thanks
 
Battery's a little weak from cranking everytime we get close. We've been charging it and using a jump box when it needs it. It fired again today after we warrantied out the computer again. Shut back off after ten seconds just like always.
 
Found it, break in the wiring somewhere in the main harness. Got it to run as long as the wirings pulled into the right position. I'll isolate the break and repair it in the morning. Thanks for the help everytone
 
Good you found it, i was picking my brain but couldn't come up with any thing you hadn't tried. My TJ did something like this when I had the 2.5 in it and it was a shorted cell in the battery.
