Internal problem.

Cam not degree'd properly. Valves not opening or closing properly. Internal friction/interference. Wrong cam. Pistons have too much variance in weight compared to one another.

I may have missed this earlier, but have you verified true TDC on #1 on compression stroke, rotor pointing to #1 terminal on distributor cap?

 

ok i turned key on & off 3 times in 3 seconds and left it on the 3rd time to get codes manually. i got 2 codes 11=no engine speed sensor signal & 12=no output shaft sensor signal. i tried both these parts new yesterday. if my computer is on its way out would it throw bad signal to these?

 

Maybe, but is the crank sensor seated all the way? Or is the tranny not fully seated against the engine? Too much of an air gap will cause some funky signals. Just trying to help!

 

DRBII and be done

 

whats DRBII? the jeep is 18 miles from town,im 2hrs from home so hauling it to a garage would be VERY hard

 

DRBII is the god send of scan tools. Its about $6000, but most reputable shops will have it. Hook it up and it tells you everything. Just have to make sure they have Eagle adaptor or else they cant hook it to your xj.

 

id say cam position is wrong

 

And a DRBII will tell you that

 

sure would

 

that suks

 

DId you pull the CPS out before you put the engine back in? I damaged mine that way and it took me a week to figure out the problem, it would start but not run right.

 

well he said it wont even start. im thinking everything is out of time. try rotating the distributor 180 degrees

 

no it starts right up, has good compression, spark ect. i thought i might of bumped the crank sensor. i removed it,looks sweet,replaced with new one & still running rough. also i got 2 codes 11 & 12 i switch both cam pickup & crank,cleared computer & rechecked the codes now im only getting a 12code which is battery disconected in last 50 starts. plugs show running rich but not wet. bout to part it out

 

distibutors on jeeps arent like chevys theres a tab that locates it to block

 

What else could it be besides something internal?

How much you want for the whole thing?
