My Bronco wount start

So you changed distributors?

So when it's on TDC is distributor rotor pointing a #1 spark plug wire?

Crankshaft balancer has mark and front chain cover has gauge plate and you can feel piston thru spark plug hole with wire/hanger.

HAVE IGNITION MODULE TESTED

SEE MY ANSWER ON "February 17, 2011" (ABOUT 3/4 OF THE WAY DOWN THE THREAD), LOOK AT #4----AT THIS POST

I JUST TRIED TO SEE WHAT YOUR DISTRIBUTOR'S WIRES LOOKED LIKE--I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY WIRES, COLORS, OR WHAT THEY GO TO

IF YOU CAN FIND THE PICK UP, AND THE 2 WIRES INTO IT (I MEAN, INSIDE THE DISTRIBUTOR, NOT THE WIRES ON THE OUTSIDE)

RUN A CONTINUITY TEST THRU THE PICK UP (WHERE THE WIRES ENTER THE PICK UP) I DO NOT KNOW WHICH 2 WIRES IN THE CONNECTOR GO TO THE PICK UP, MAYBE YOU CAN TELL

MAKE SURE THE DIST IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE WIRE HARNESS

BELOW ARE PICS OF MY JEEP---USE AS A REFERENCE---AIN'T EXACTLY LIKE YOURS

1) WHAT IS THE VOLTAGE AT THE POS SIDE OF THE COIL W/ THE KEY "ON". DISREGARD MY JEEP READINGS

2) AND 3) IF YOU HAVE NO/ LITTLE VOLTAGE AT POS SIDE OF COIL---TRY THIS JUST FOR GIGGLES---POS BATTERY TO POS COIL AND CRANK IT (UP)

LET ME KNOW YOUR RESULTS

4) CONTINUITY. OF COURSE YOU WOULD PUT THE WIRE/ PART TO BE TESTED BETWEEN THE 2 PROBES

5) NO CONTINUITY (BREAK IN WIRE, OPEN CIRCUIT)

AM I CONFUSING YOU?

THE MEDIC

I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH YOU PAID FOR THE PART....MAY CAN GET YOUR $$$ BACK IF THIS CHANGES YOUR MIND

IF YOUR DISTRIBUTOR IS ANYTHING LIKE A "MOTORCRAFT" USED ON '79-'86 JEEP CJs---YOU REMOVE THE RETAINING RING ON THE TOP OF THE SHAFT AND JUST SORTA "DIG IN"!!!

HERE'S ANOTHER OPTION

THIS IS THE ONE I TRY TO DO, AND THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH "REMAN" YOU CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE OF IT AND NEW

THE VERY BEST THING IS---THE REMAN HAS BEEN "GONE THRU" NEW DIAPHRAGMS, BUSHINGS, ETC......FIXING YOURS, JUST REPLACES THE "ONE" PART......YOU ARE LEFT WITH WHAT YOU HAD

THE REMAN HAS A "LIFETIME WARRANTY".....I KEEP ALL OF MY RECEIPTS, AND I TAKE MY "JEEP RECEIPT/ IMPORTANT PAPERS/ WARRANTY BOOK" INTO WHATEVER STORE, NO MATTER WHERE I HAVE TRIED.......I HAVE NEVER BEEN TURNED DOWN ON "USE OF" ANY ONE I HAVE (THAT INCLUDES WORE OUT BRAKES AND OTHER STUFF!)

SEE MY LAST ANSWER AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST

I SAW 3 DISTRIBUTORS THAT ADVANCE SAYS WILL FIT YOUR RIG---THE CONNECTIONS, EXTERNAL OR ON DISTRIBUTOR IGN MODULE SEEM TO BE THE DIFFERENCES, YOU'LL HAVE TO DETERMINE WHICH ONE YOU HAVE, SO YOU CAN SEE THE PRICES

1ST I FOUND (WIRES AND CONNECTORS)

http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_Remanufactured-Distributor-Cardone_18630219-P_218_R%7CGRPTUNEAMS_____

THERE ARE 2 WAYS TO REPLACE THE DISTRIBUTOR....EZ AND MORE DIFFICULT

IF YOU WANNA DO IT THE EZ WAY---DO NOT REMOVE THE DISTRIBUTOR OR EVEN MOVE IT......TILL YOU GET INSTRUCTIONS

FORGET ABOUT SWAPPING THE CORE OUT, UNTIL THE NEW (REMAN) ONE IS THERE TO COMPARE TO...STILL LEAVE IT ALONE!!!....NOT GONNA TAKE IT BACK, UNTIL THE OTHER ONE MAKES IT RUN!!!....SO SAVE YOUR RECEIPT!

IF ANY OF THE ABOVE WAS NOT DONE---THE "HARD WAY" IS GONNA BE THE WAY OUT

I CAN DO IT EITHER WAY....I LIKE EZ THE BESTUS!

I HAVE HELPED SEVERAL JEEP CJ FELLERS OVER THE PHONE, IF YOU LIKE THAT OPTION****LET ME KNOW*****AND I'LL SEND YOU A PRIVATE MESSAGE SO WE CAN WORK OUT THE DETAILS

I DO TRY TO KEEP INFO STILL GOING ON, IN THE FORUM, SO THAT OTHERS MIGHT BENEFIT FROM YOUR "SITUATION", IF THEY ARE SURFING AROUND FOR AN ANSWER TO THEIR PROBLEM

SO IT BOILS DOWN TO

FIX YOURS

REMAN

POSSIBLE PHONE HELP, WITH DIST INSTALL

DEPENDING ON YOUR ANSWER....I WILL POST "MY HOW TO INSTALL DIST THE EZ WAY".......YOU CAN THEN DIY OR DO THE PHONE COMMO THING

DO YOU HAVE A TIMING LIGHT?

AFTER WE'RE DONE, YOU CAN TAKE ME OUT FOR LUNCH FOR SOME "KRYSTAL BURGERS"
