[QUOTE="Jackson LeBlanc, post: 439971, member: 21054"] The coil was getting 4 volts which suggests that the wiring is bad. The previous owner did do work on this engine and he did the nutter bypass weird. He decided to duct tape exposed wires together which I'm sure caused the problem. One of the wires that was bad went to the alternator so now we're getting the alternator tested. Wiring harness seems to be the issue because not all the wires that need current are getting current. Thank you for your help and I have the service manual at home and the diagnosis matches up with whats been going on. i will look more into the resistor given but I don't think the resistor has a purpose anymore given the nutter bypass was done and the resistor being spoken of leads to the electric choke/ICM I'm assuming. Keep in mind a non-computer-controlled carburetor is on there as the ECM is no longer wired anywhere to the electric system in the jeep. [/QUOTE]
