I just became familiar with the forum thru a friend after telling him about my recent problem with my 2000 Jeep GC that refused to start. I'm guessing at this point that it has something to do with the ignition key, or it's related electronics, since the dashboard logos show a key image with a x symbol thru it. The engine would turn over fine but would not start. My first thought was a defective fuel pump, and after noticing the gas gauge on empty, I added 2 gallons of gas to the gas tank and poured about a quarter of a cup of gas into the carburator throat. Same result---I believe no spark. After discovering the x'd out key symbol via the tow truck drivers comment, I tried my wife's key--same result.
Currently I am awaiting the repair garages' diagnosis which I hope will be tomorrow sometime.
