Idling Issue
Hey all working on a friends 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4WD with 4.0. I checked codes and replaced the crank and cam sensor. Now after all that it is giving a weird idle under 1000 rpms it will be like a surging idle but not constant all the time. Sometimes will stall and die but start right back up. It was throwing 1391. The counterdrone at Autozone tells me the timing chain or timing belt may have jumped causing the code. Once in higher rpms seems to do fine. Oil was just changed as well. Any input to the issue will greatly help me get rid of this vehicle which has been a headache.

My jeep would surge and die if i took my foot off the gas when coming to a stop. It would also run rough at idle. It only cost me $15.95 to replace Hope it works!
