Thanks for the video. I really appreciate you showing the install with the engine in the vehicle. Most similar videos show the install on an engine out of the vehicle.
How did you know it was the Camshaft sensor, and not the crankshaft sensor? I'm asking because I have the same code and an intermittent no spark situation on a 99 Jeep XJ.
Based on the symptoms I was having and the reading of forums seemed to all point to that. I wasn't 100% sure it would fix it but seemed like the most likely and easiest/cheapest place to start.
@@highstrung_lifestylemy threw code P1391 and P0340 which is cam shaft position sensor code so I’m just assuming mine calls for cam sensor or if I’m really unlucky it’s both
I have a 96 Cherokee with the 4.0 and i get that P1391 code only when I use the passing gear and get the RPMs up. It comes on every time i run it hard. Never when i drive it gently lol. I clear the code and it comes back when I'm hard on it. Runs fine other than a slight rough idle now and then. Could this be a cam or crank sensor issue?
@@WinModel88 So you symptoms sound a little different even though it could be the same part failing. I would hook up a code reader and try to get the code when you are driving and it comes on.

I’m in the same position. Mine is doing the same thing. I’ve already replaced the crankshaft sensor twice.

@@highstrung_lifestyle Mine ended up being the Crank Sensor
What year is your jeep?
2000 Cherokee XJ sport 4.0 L motor
Is the replacement of the Camshaft Synchronizer a critical replacement with the sensor?
yes it will cause the engine to not run properly if at all. may leave you stranded somewhere if you don't fix it. thanks for watching keep me posted

Nice! like all Cherokees, they just need their feelings massaged lol. thanks for watching and sharing about your Jeep!
@@41GarageandGrill oh you're welcome man lol. But does this sound like a cam or crank sensor issue in your experience?

@@41GarageandGrill I get the P1391 code.
@@WinModel88 I would go ahead and replace it then. It's possible there's enough play in it that as the RPM comes up it gets out of alignment
What are the symptoms of a bad camshaft position sensor?
In my case it was just the check engine light.
Great job
thanks
