My no start issue turned out to be the ignition coil driver signal not making it from the PCM to the coil.
A PO has had hacked at the PCM connector and their "repair" failed. I've repaired it again, but not much better.

Will I be able to find a complete PCM connector? and the pins to go with it? I'm going to repair/repin the whole thing. If so, whats the best source?

Otherwise I'll find an XJ in a junkyard and snip the pigtail out of that

The only source I could come up with would be as you posted "Auto Recycler".
I checked on several Mopar websites and the electrical harness replacements have been discontinued.
I would be curious IF another member has a source ; since I am sure there are other members in need of replacement connectors.
I am missing a black cover for one of the PCM harness connectors and haven't located a source. There only a couple Auto Recyclers that have Jeep parts in my area and haven't had any luck finding one.

I posted in another group which suggested Ballinger motorsports. The seem to have the connector itself, just the pins, or a complete pigtail.
However, listed for a Powerstroke, so may not be quite right. And it was like $150 , which is to be expected.

I’ll be off to pick-a-part. For $10 can snip myself a connector. I’m assuming the connector is the same for XJ and WJs, which will be much easier to find.

I see in your profile that your TJ is a 1997.
Your 32 pin connector may be specific to the 97 and 98 model year TJs, the 97-99 XJs and the ZJs; doubt the connector will be the same on the WJs.
Your TJ has a distributor instead of distributorless ignition which is why I posted the Jeep models above.

Go onto car-part.com and put your year, make and model of the vehicle and it will populate a list of Wrecking yards across the country that have all types of connectors.
