    I have a 2002 Jeep Wrangler in-line 6 Manual was driving fine around 2 months ago then started to overheat then one day died. My first thought was head gasket so bought a rebuild kit and sure enough it was blown replaced it everything back together now my engine is just turning over not getting any fire. Already checked the coils all the plugs spark and getting fuel into the rails. But it turns over and makes a whining sound sounds like it doesn’t even want to fire. I just had unplugged the crank sensor and put some dielectric grease on it and as I was turning it over it made a pop and some smoke came out the throttle body I’m not sure where to go next if anyone has a idea I’d appreciate it

    any codes?
    What is fuel pressure PSI?
    When you try to stsrt will the CEL come on @3 seconds then go off or stay on?


    As someone tries to start jeep - spray some carb cleaner into TB - did the engine 'hit fire' on the spray try to start? advise
