Yes, but I was all wet on that...the ECM won't keep power from being available to your coil. Check fuses and connections.How do you reset the ECM? Is that the remove the battery cables and touch them together thing?

I did do a compression test and I was at 120-125 for all cylinders. FSM say 120-150. I was surprised that my compression was on the bottom of the scale. I will ad some oil.Hi, did you do a compression test? Sometimes when you put a new engine in the cylinders can become gas washed from the initial starting trial. Take a squirt bottle and spray a little oil in each cylinder to bring up the compression.
Would that account for the flip/flop of having voltage on the opposite wire?Something I would like to throw out. Jerry has mentioned in the past that early 97 models (technically 96 production) use similar parts found on the 95 wranglers, and I believe the CAM sensor is one of those. Is it possible that you have an EARLY 97 engine and are using the LATER 97 distributor/cam, or vice versa?
I think that’s highly possible. I would research a little on the voltage readings on the CAM for the 95 4.0 wranglers, and see if maybe you have the wrong sensor installed. If you’re having a “flip flop” on wiring I’d suspect that’s the culprit. You have everything required to start the Jeep, spark, fuel, compression, it just sounds like your timing is out of whack.Would that account for the flip/flop of having voltage on the opposite wire?
Right I get that, I mean if the sensor is wrong it’s likely to mess up your set timing with an improper spark plug firing order.I did check the timing again and I am on the #1 pole on the distributor with the engine on TDC of the compression stroke.

My thoughts exactly. I would try swapping the cam sensor from your old distributor. It looks like this and should interchange between the two.Craig, do you have your old engine still?
