Hello everybody my Camshaft Position Sensor is malfunctioning, how do I replace it, if anyone can respond and help me out I'd appreicate it.

 

The cam sensor is under the distributor cap. Once you remove the cap and rotor the cam sensor just lifts out. It does fit snugly in the distributor body, but there are no screws holding it in.

 

From Joe Peters and well stated. Sounds harsh but just makes sense:
"Let’s play a game.

You pretend that you are the only one that knows what year/engine, etc that you are asking about.

We will all pretend you never asked a question until you provide at least the bare minimum of information about your vehicle".

 

Thanks for the help, and how about next time you say hey can you give us a more details for year and engine size for for xj, just saying and it's a burgandy 1998 Jeep Cherokee Limited straight 6 engine 4.0L with a brush guard, oh and new starter, a/c compressor, alternator, spark plugs, wires, air filter, new radio and good year tires is that good enough.

 

It says "sounds harsh but makes sense"

 

I have a '93 GC Laredo with a 4.0L engine. No CEL codes, idles smooth as silk, no oil leaks, plenty of power, never overheats, no unusual noises other than the normal 'expected' rattles and squeeks a jeep with 160K+ miles might make. So, my question is.. What's wrong with this jeep??
*I really just wanted to agree with what cruiser54 said about the basic vehicle info. Way too many posters are already playing that game

 

Or saying they can't search because they're using an App on their smart phone.

And not taking the time to fill out their profile. I actually check that our when the info isn't in the post.......

And wouldn't the OP want to get the most accurate advice/response to their questions which can only be done with proper info?

 

To expand on this, an up to date profile is even more helpful. I will agree the CF search is lacking, but google works great. To the OP, the post about it being under the dizzy cap is correct. What is leading you to believe this is malfunctioning?

 

And just as important: What year is it?

 

Why? They are the same from 84-01 basically.

 

Uh, no. 84 and 85 were carbureted. 86 4 cylinder was throttle body fuel injected and had nothing in the distributor except a rotor. 86 V6 was HEI. 87 to 90 4.0 Renix had a sync generator in the dizzy for the injectors. 91 to ? had a dizzy with a CMP in it. When they went dizzy-less, the CMP was a deal mounted in place of the dizzy.

 

Soooo, it is important to list details. hmmmmm. LOL

 

Yeah their are a lot of differences between them lol, and I came to here because this is actul people who had or might of had the same problem and it helps to hear from a person not a video if you can even find the right one or a web sight with the same year and engine size as you.

 

Only if you want accurate answers. I'm gonna end up looking like the butthead here, but it is what it is.

 

You still haven't given us the info..........
