Did you look up what code 11 for your year vehicle means?

Was it this: DTC 11 - No reference signal during engine cranking. No camshaft reference signal was detected during engine cranking.

I didn't see any of the wires burned or frayed. I don't have access to another computer at the moment.

So an update. I just replaced the battery with an optima red top and she runs a lot better. No longer has that missing sensation. I'm still replacing the cps this weekend before I drive her home. Cheers

Ok so I installed a mopar cps tonite and attempted to drive her home. I made it halfway through my commute and she stalled while driving. I coasted to the side of the road and she fired back up without any issue I was able to make it home with no other issues. Now I'm wondering what caused the stall in the first place....

All right it's been a few days and the gremlins are back. Oh well now I have a mopar cps instead of napa. I'm going to refreshen the grounds again as well as check the tps or map. Come to think of it every time my jeep goes on the fritz I check something out but I disco the battery. So the ecu resets and all is well for 20ish miles, what could be the issue? I'm about to drive this thing off a cliff lol

I got it to stop leaking but I wonder if it's bad. I haven't checked the fuel pressure yet. I just rechecked the grounds and all electrical and nothing has changed. I was able to get it to stall with no restart. Checked asd relay and no start. I unplugged the cps and plugged it back in and viola she started...so I pushed the pins back in the plug on the harness. Maybe that was it? But it just stalled every few minutes with restart...

Alright it's been almost a week with no issues of any kind. Looks like I had a faulty ignition coil. Cheers and thanks for the help
