Error codes on Jeep Wrangler - Input needed

Crank position sensor failure is pretty common, though usually it's intermittent before it dies completely. I'd check that first.

Matt,

Thanks much for the quick reply! Just one more quick question. Considering what you stated in the above post, should I assume that if this is the problem, that it can be fixed via maint/adjustment, or is a complete part replacement needed?

the CPS isn't all that expensive, and tehre really isn't an adjustment...either it works or not. And it's somewhat tricky to get to...I suggest replace it and be done with it.

They get a bad connection on the plugs for the CPS easy. Lots of time you can just unplug the sensor above the rear of the exhaust manifold and plug it back in to get going. A good clean with a contact cleaner can do them wonders.

The other one is on the distributor. Same deal unplug and plug back, if it goes a good cleaning is in order.

Got to agree with Mike on this. Remove, clean, and replace the crankshaft position and camshaft position sensor plugs before replacing things.

replace the cps 25.00 and it will run ok 95% sure. hard to replace, use 2 u joint extensions with socket . carefull, do not drop into hole in bell housing. usually a 30 minute job. it is on the left , near the top of the drivers side bell housing. john

Just wondered if this was ever fixed. I'm tearing my heair out :) 95 YJ

I'd double check the relays. I have a 94 XJ and I did all the same stuff you did. Mine was stalling all the time while driving down the road. It turned out to be either the fuel pump relay or the auto shut down relay. I replaced them both. If nothing else, you could swap them in the relay box and see what happens.
