1974 cj5 No Spark

That makes sense. Don't know how I missed that.

 

ya she got it good,i have tried everything to get it to spark and still nothingchainsawguy

 

back in 2012 she started norcos "pain pills" then i 2013 i found out she was using meth and was arrested 6 times sence then and that's when all hell broke loss ,i gave her a chance to get into rehab she did not want it,so i filed for divorced and child custody ,,she lost all,,so she took it out on my jeep by cutting the wires,when tweakers "meth" users mess with things it all goes bad just like my jeep,she has never liked the jeep why i dont know ,I just want to figure this problem out and get my jeep up and running again

 

We know the solenoid is cranking the engine but we don't know if the "I" terminal (small terminal) (the one with 2 wires) on the solenoid are showing 12v while cranking. Read with volt meter or test-light to confirm you have voltage at this "I" terminal at the solenoid. If you do have power at this terminal (when cranking) then temporarily run another wire from the solenoid "I" terminal to the "+" terminal on the coil and see if it fires up. Let us know. This is the most important first step. It will tell us a lot.

 

ok got the jeep to start,only way to start is to jump a wire from the + of the battery to the +of the coil,,,so now it starts but,,,,,,,when i give it gas it die, 1975 cj5 304 [h=3]Edelbrock carb[/h]

 

Shoot!! Sugar in the fuel!! Sugar in the fuel!!!

 

So It starts up.. Will it idle for a long period and only dies when you try to accelerate? Man-O-man trying to get info from you is like pulling hens teeth.. I'm about ready to give up...

 

when it does start it will idle for about 2min it runs really rough and when i try to give it gas it just dies

 

Checked your timing? And double-check the point gap first.
