I know there is probably a thousand of these threads but whatever Anyways a month or two ago my jeep would turnover but not start. So I did some research, got it coded, and ended up replacing the Crank Shaft position sensor. Problem solved, until today. I didn't change the cam shaft even though I got that code as well. Anyways my question is, does this problem seem like its the cam shaft sensor, or is it another bad crank sensor? Also, I'm a realistically young do it yourselfer, the Camshaft sensor of pick up coil is located in the distributor right?

1996 4.0L straight 6

Thanks in advance

Amirite?

 

I believe it was autozone brand. HAHA. Im a highschooler with a thin wallet

BTW. Went back to the place it was parked. It started rough so I got it home. Still need a solution to this problem.

 

Well, how about you go with what your Jeep is trying to tell you with the code?
This is almost like: "it won't start, the fuel gauge says it's empty and I haven't filled it up; can it be something else?"

And regarding the CPS: get a OEM one, or at least a good brand one. Engine management sensors are recommended to be OEM/dealer ones...otherwise you can still have the same problem persisting, while thinking you fixed that possible cause.

 

Im pretty sure the Camshaft sensor could be the sensor inside the distributor.

 

It is.

 

Cam sensor fixed it about a month ago so thanks.

 

I found the CPS to be cheaper at the dealer then the zone..

 

So, what exactly did you replace now: cps or cam shaft sensor? Or both?
