Ok so i go to start my jeep today and it won't start. Cranks just fine, catches like it wants to start, then coughs n dies out. sounds as if it's out of time.

It did this to me the other day, I suspected bad CPS, so i used my noid lights to check injector pulse (CPS controls Fuel injection pulse). Found that CPS had gone bad, replaced.

Now it's doin it again. Checked injector pulse again, fine. Checked spark, fine.
I dunno what the hell is wrong with my heep...help!

Gee oh Dee

Have you tried the cam position sensor?

tannerp89

cam position sensor is integral part of the distributor, non serviceable

I pulled my plugs again to check time, they look fuel soaked, so lettin it sit for a bit
then gonna try it again

Gee oh Dee

Unless year has something to do with that your incorrect.

Several users here have replaced theirs.

tannerp89

Well good for them

cam sensor is part of distributor for my year
got it started anyway
thanks

Gee oh Dee

Notice how I'm the only one who tried to help? Interesting.

Read post #4 and learn how wrong you are.

In 1998 they were still using a distributor, so yes your is indeed
serviceable.

But glad you got it fixed anyway.

tannerp89

so you start a thread to prove me wrong? hmmm

Gee oh Dee

Figured since you didn't wanna accept I'm right I'd let others show you how wrong you are.

And hey, it worked!

freegdr

hes not wrong hes been misinformed,it is actually a non servisable part all you can do is replace it, and the cam sensor times injector pulse to spark firing time

tannerp89

I just didn't take the time to consider your idea because I knew that wasn't the issue

So hey, I didn't listen anyway!

Gee oh Dee

You knew it wasn't the issue, but you still felt the need to post a "help me" thread?

tannerp89

well yea, I checked ignition timing, and it was fine. Soooo why would I check Cam sensor?

So what if I felt the need to post a thread, I was temporarily stumped.

Anyway have a good day sir

Gee oh Dee

Why?

CUZ MAYBE YOUR THREAD TITLE SAYS IT SOUNDS OUT OF TIME???




Jeeze, maybe you should post that you checked timing and it wasn't out of time?

Bustedback

So what did you do to fix it? What did you find wrong?

tannerp89

Hey maybe if you actually read what I posted...


and the dee dee dee award goes to....
