Ok. I'm new to the jeep world. I have a 1986 jeep cj7. Four cylinder engine. It's all stock. I was working on it an it accidently went in gear. Cut off. Wouldn't start again. Test fire to spark wire no fire. But when you turn key back it kicks out fire then back off. I've replaced plugs, wires, rotor, cap, distibutor, computer, ignition module, etc. Pretty much everything with the firing. One mechanic said it's in the steering column. Which I didn't think so. I'm at a dead end. Could it be key switch. Or is it deeper

Simply start with a test light, turn on key, see if there is power on the positive side of the coil and go from there. Crank it and see if there is still power on the positive side of the coil. Then move test light to negative side of coil when cranking does the test light flicker? Try to keep your diagnostic simpler. Start here and let us now what your results are.
