The new ones? Yeah, ugly.

So I replaced my CPS unit with a Mopar. Installed. Doesn't work! Went to autozone and had the CEL read. P1391. This is my 3rd CPS in 5 days. What's going on?
Did the reset trick to reset CPM, turned over just fine. Then after first rev the CEL popped back on and it died. It's weird though. It'll idle and drive just fine when it starts. It's just the starting that sounds awful. Wtf is going on?

 

Be more specific? What's it doing EXACTLY?

Sounds like a wiring issue to me.

 

Took it for a joyride in the maritime forest and the beach. As usual, jumped the camelhumps and rolled off ledges.

 

Took it wheeling this past Sunday. It was a great day.
















This last pic we had to put the acos back and then hold the coil to get it back in place. For some reason the bump stop bolt came out.

 

Last week I was driving to work and the engine just completely shut off. Prior to that I was having funky downshifting problems after 45mph. Anyhoo, after the engine turned off (I was cruising around 40mph), while coasting, I turned it back over. No prob. It got me to work and back home, except I had a CEL. Took it to advanced auto and had the code read. It said my ignition coil went out. Bought a new on and replaced that as well as my TPS, thinking that'd help my shifting issues. I have hood vents but didn't have any drainage to protect my sensors before out first snow fall. Got it home replaced sensor and coil, started up fine. 3 hrs later went to start it up. Clunk, rough start up, fired up but now had CEL again. Went back to advance and now running code P1391. Bought a new CPS, plugged in, nope. Removed, went back and exchanged, put it in. Nope. Called the dealership, ordered a new Mopar one, installed. Nope. Still throwing P1391. It idles alright, but start up it either doesn't turn over unless I give it a little gas. Sometimes it'll just turn right over. I'm at a loss. I checked the wires, they're all still encased in there plastic sleeves. Could it be the connector that joins the CPS to the rest of the jeep? Can I spray brake cleaner in there if it's dirty (it says on the bottle it conducts electricity lol!)

Sorry, I tried to put a link to my post in the forum so I wouldn't have to paragraph here...could get it on my phone.

 

I think it's my Camshaft sensor... What did I do with my XJ today? Curse at it is at the top of my list.

Edit: yup. That was it. New sensor in, started right up

 

junkyard run. got a seat, door stops, and hood latch. no longer rolling with the back and to the right lean. lol

 

I've been battling the dreaded belt squeak, finally looked at the harmonic balancer, it had started to separate so I replaced it with one from my parts XJ. Also installed cup holders.

 

Tightened down driver side BPE and put my swaybar on for the winter weather. I can't wait to remove it again tomorrow. Also had a headlight blow. Im done doing 80w bulbs. Don't last long at all

 

You're reattaching your sway bar for one day?

 

Another reason I'm really leaning toward TruckLites. I'll buy a set tomorrow after I win $636m tonight.

 

By tomorrow the snow will be gone. Only needed for the drive home with the weather. I've been for the last few months fully swayless. I love it

I wish i had several hundred dollars for those. Im tired of replacing bulbs ugh

 

I want to buy them before I start spending on an H4 conversion and pricey bulbs. I'm still running Sylvanias with the stock wiring, and LEDs would also save me the cost of a harness. The more I think about it, the better the price gets.
