Absolutely! And the bad news is that they are extremely tuff to get to.I heard lots of extention on a ratchet works. It's located high up on driver side of bell housing.
On the '89 it's on the top left side of the transmission bell housing.
The most common reason for the XJ Cherokee to turn over and not start running is a faulty Crankshaft Position Sensor (CPS) on the transmission bell housing. Search the Internet or some of the Jeep specific forums, there are instructions for testing the CPS.
It is above the starter. You must remove the started to get at the CPS. There is one bolt that holds the CPS in the block.
The camshaft position sensor is inside the distributor. The crankshaft position sensor is in the top of the bell housing on the driver side.
I am having the same problem with my 93 jeep cherokee. it can hardly get out of its own way! i just recently rebuilt my motor and transmission. i replaced the cps ( crankshaft position sensor) and it made a noticeable difference, but still hasn't fixed the problem completely! I need help!
The Crankshaft Position Sensor is attached to the bellhousing.The CPS detects teeth on the flyweel as thay pass the sensor during engine operation and thus provides the computer with info concerning engine speed and crankshaft angle. Hope this helps.
The cam position sensor is in the distributor. on both engines. The crank postion sensor goes through the top left of the bell housing on the 4.0L and the top right on the V8.
No, as this engine has been built since 1964.
AnswerIts most likely to be the Crank Position Sensor (CPS) failing.
The CPS is locted on the transmission bell housing top drivers side. Look down from drivers side at rear of motor by the fire wall... you will see the wire conector going to the top of the drivers side of the transmission. GL.Answerthe cps is located on the bottom side of the engine under the manifold Answerits mounted on the tranny
Check Emissions Control. CPS, EGR, O2 Sensor,MAP, CTS, etc... -Fuel Pressure Regularotr. -Fuel Pump. -plugs, wires, dist. cap and rotor. -ECM. *I had success by installing a new O2 sensor, and CPS crankshaft position sensor.
It depends on which 'sensor' you are replacing. The crankshaft positioning sensor is on the lower left side of the engine, behind the oil filter. The CPS attaches to the bell housing. Search youtube for videos on replacing this particular sensor. Other videos may assist with other sensors.
