Hey everyone, I'm back. I took a much needed break from working on my 1996 cherokee and now I'm back at it. I moved my focus for my work to the cam sensor/rotor. I was going to check the cam sensor, and I found out I can move my rotor roughly an inch up. I looked and one of the bolts that goes through the bracket side with the lip on it is loose. Could this have caused the problems with my new mopar CPS? It wasn't throwing a code, but it would idle a little rough and when I revved it, it would backfire/misfire, shake, etc. If I tried to drive it up my road, passing like 1500 RPM would cause the misfires and such and it would lose a lot of its power. But with the sensor in that was in it when I bought it, it drive fine until it gets up to temp, then throws the code and starts dying at idle. My dad and I are going to look at it tomorrow and fiddle with it, but here's my overarching question:

Would a loose rotor cause a new mopar CPS to seem bad?

 

Anyone?

 

The reluctance wheel is mounted to the same shaft as the rotor, so yes it could cause problems.

 

By rotor I meant the whole distributor, sorry for any discrepancies. I ended up tightening the dist and so far she drives fine. Let's hope thats all it was
