I'll post a video in some hours.

What else could be the problem?
What's the cam sensor? Pic?
I'm German and don't know the right German word for that.

In my 2000 cherokee the cam sensor is located where the distributer was ( I have a electronic ignition and I have a oil pump drive shaft and a cam sensor in place of the distributer). So I would believe in a distributer engine it would be located under the distrbuter cap (I'm geussing since I'm used to electronic ignitions)

I used to live near Frankfurt (Eshborn and Dexhiem), loved the country.

The distributor cap is new.
Do you think that the thing under the cap is broken?

Thanks, yes it's a nice country over here...

The sensor under the cap could be worn (if it didnt get replaced) or out of position.

Here are two new videos.

Cold:

Warm:

When it's warm it works a bit better but still not like some months before.

Any ideas?

The first thing I notice is the steam/smoke coming from the engine, is your radiator overheating? Also I know it has been done where people wrap spark plug insulator around the fuel injectors to keep the fuel from evaporating from a hot exhaust manifold.
