I was curious about converting my 96 5.2L v8 to run on propane, I'm having a hard time trying to find a kit that would work with the engine, does anyone have any ideas or any places they could point me to that would be greatly appreciated

Put my ax15 in and it won’t shift even though the clutch releases and when I let off the clutch it goes forward but won’t shift to neutral or any other gear

I have a 52-inch curved LED light bar and I'm looking for a mount that matches the car's aesthetics (it fits perfectly at the top of the windshield). If anyone knows of one, it would be a great help, thanks.

I have a zj where the overhead console lights are always turned on it is a 97 and was wondering if there’s any way to fix this problem the regular ceiling lights are all burnt out and don’t turn on so all tbe ceiling lights in general could be on and I can’t tell without replacing the bulbs, has anyone encountered this?

Hey all!

I have a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.2 v8. About two years, it completely died on me while driving (was idling at a traffic light, then it stalled). Since then, I haven’t managed to get it started. The engine turns over, but the tach is not moving. I initially thought it was the CPS, but I’ve now replaced it with 3 different ones (am in Europe, so hard to find original parts). At this point, I’m inclined to rule out the CPS itself (even if I still don’t have a mopar). I’ve also tried to wire battery negative directly to the blue/black wire for the CPS to rule out bad ground (makes no difference). I’ve also replaced the PCM, which made no difference.

Other things I’ve checked:
* Fuses
* Relays (swapped the horn relay with the ASD)
* The fuel pump runs for a few seconds (I can hear it, and I can smell the gasoline)
* Tried start spray

At this point, I’m running out of ideas. I’ve tried to measure the signal and reference wires (black/white and orange or red) but I’m not really sure which is which. At least one of them gives constant 5v. Other things I’m thinking:
* Other sensors (MAP, TPS etc) shorting the circuit?
* Camshaft position sensor?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! I’m getting quite frustrated with this car.

Anything’s to look out for with this thing? Transmission is the auto 4-speed, but recently started to give out and hardly has any pull power after about a month or so of of driving it a few miles here and there. Would it be easier to get a new at $1.8k plus whatever install/labor hours would be? Or drop it myself and try to figure it out?
Like I stated in the title it has a 5.2 magnum v8 from 93 everything original except the usual “custom” wiring I’m going to have to fix from speakers/old head unit.
I have the Throttle positioning sensor kit, new battery, and some MSD spark plugs from Holley to get started while it’s not moving. Any pointers, tips, or information from anyone that knows this platform please comment below and I’ll get with you. If it’s more than a bother for anyone with the correct experience compensation for knowledge and the time typing can be discussed lol
