Has anyone replaced their cam position sensor? Can it be replaced on all non-COP trucks?

 

what is a cop truck?

 

 

cop= Coil On Plug its a distributer-less system. and yes it can be changed. it is the black base under the cap. you should be able to see a 3 pronged plug coming out of it

 

ok ill try it this way what is a non-cop truck ???

 

A truck that doesn't use coil on plug system.

 

you mean a xj with a dist, a normal xj yes. you can pull the dist nock the pin out of the dist gear pull the gear off note which way it was on, there may be a spacer/washer under the gear. then pull the shaft out of the dist replace the coil and re assemble if the shaft is hard to pull out spray some carb cleaner down the shaft to loosen the burnt/dried oil

 

Your just using different words to explain the exact same thing.



Whats the problem here?

 

your right its the sdt

 

'ts alright. I still love ya.

 

i know it as a DIS system

 

Gotcha.

I "moved" here from a DSM forum and I've always known it as a COP setup.

 

 

In the Non cop XJs the distibiutor is basically the housing for the Cam Positsion sensor and the Cap and rotor, As the distribotor has nothing really to do with ignition timing.

 

correct, it times injector pulse to spark plug firing from a signal from the cps thru the ecm
