Never in all my time have i ever seen a brake hose fail like that.
How about a good close up of the break itself?also,any cracks anywhere along the hose if you bend it in a tight radius?[/QUOTE
]lol I don't know what brake hose you are talking about but I did agree with you.

Ray brought another dist with him. That's in it now. But as far as we could tell there was nothing wrong with the one I was running when the problem started. We had both of them in/out, not working. Had spark jumping an inch from the coil wire with either out and just spinning the dist to activate the reluctor and pickup. Even did it in engine by twisting back and forth.
Yet neither would spark when turned by the motor.
Lot of 
. Some how it started to work. Drove it,turned off, restart. No issues. Just don't know. I'm gonna run it one more time shortly before I wrap it up for the day. Gonna whatch the weather, but maybe get it up to Ray's next weekend.

Thanks! My next two milestones are to be down 30 lbs by Memorial Day and down 50 lbs by the time we go on vacation in August. I want to take another photo in that same place I took the first one I showed above. Should make a nice comparison to show tha progress.
My weight has been stable for the last 30 yrs, pretty much I weigh anywhere from 188 to 193, depending upon how much I work out...I've always been able to eat and drink as I please..Genes , I guess.... Ohh Yeah ..I weigh 290 with my Girlfriend on me, at the moment...LOL

ECU may be getting wonky. Get a spare. Nothing ever just fixes itself.No Flippin idea. LOL

As long as it's all good.
I would also check fuseable link connections at the firewall bulkhead.

ok folks. trading in this POS Jeep. get the brake hoses fixed.. now the damn main line to the ABS unit busted. Here's the thing... no rust, no visible damage, just busted. 4 clutches and now this crap. I'm done with Jeep.
So here's the question: What SUV that is 4 doors, 4WD, preferably part time is fully capable off road without a ton of upgrades?

Went over the entire harness when it was out- actually in very good shape (wires and connectors). The ECU gets its ground from mount screws to inner fender. Not sure about the coil though.

Sounds good, I’m probably going to do a veggie Alfredo over pasta. I haven’t decided on the kind of pasta yet though.
