there is no way in hell you did all that, by yourself in two days.

I'm calling BS, working on a Jeep is never that easy.

 

Washed the undercarriage and tires...

 

Past couple days my 89 was been missen on the #1 cyl... sometimes it fires but most of the time it was dead... so i put new plugs and wires. and a new dis cap and rotor... and now shes growlin like normal =D

 

Installed the passenger side mirror that I got a couple days ago. Thank you 96_XJ!!!!!

Found where the Crankshaft position sensor is located. Really Jeep? could you have put it in a more hard to reach place?!?!

 

Well, they probably could have bolted it inside the bellhousing..........

 

true enough I guess. Seriously though....one section of bellhousing lower and it would be a snap.

I don't even know how I can get in there with a rag or anything to clean it up to get a better view of the bolts.

 

get up on your motor. or lay under neath it i did it in 3 min.. simple..

 

Yeah I tried from under, I can get my hand up and touch the bolts but trying to actually get a wrench on is a different story. Same story from the top. I can touch the bolts but no way to wrench on them.

Mine is also the 4.0 ... not sure if the clearance is different between the 4.0 and the 4 cyl or not but I just can't seem to get the right angle.

What worries me more is if I do manage to get the bolts out I can't imagine how tough it will be to get em back in correctly lol.

 

It's easier than you might think. I thought the same thing when I had to replace mine, but I was able to get to it with a 3/8" ratchet and 2 long extensions. Once I figured out the trick, I had it out and replaced in about 15 minutes. Didn't even need a swivel adapter.

Sure, it's still a pain to get to, but it's doable.

 

cut+folded.

 

Yeah I'm sure I can manage it. Probably just a matter of getting the right angle etc. I swear people who work on vehicles have different wrist and finger bones than others. "My hand just doesn't bend that way!!" LOL.

I mean... I know it can be done...you and others have done it. Probably just finding the right angle.

quick question. Did you clean yours up first get it to start then replace it or did you just flat out replace it?

 

I just replaced it. Symptoms were that it was randomly stalling, but would start right up. Then it was randomly stalling, but wouldn't start right up. Then, it just didn't want to start most of the time.

Replacing crank sensor fixed it right away.

 

Ahh I see.

I am about to pull my hair out trying to figure out what is going on with mine. The more I think about it though the more I think I got a bad fuel pump. I got fuel to the rail when I replaced it but no pressure. Then the following day ... or the day after there was no fuel at the rail at all. I never once heard the new pump turn on. Its just been a real mess and I am about at my wits end.

 

I took my brother in law out and put some mud on it!

 

Tested out the lockers.










I don't think I could've cut the fenders any better. It's on the bumpstop right here and the brake line has juuuuuust enough.
