Hi, My name is Glenn and I show up as anonymous because I did not take the time to sign in. I had access to a 1999 Jeep Wrangler service manual and from what I saw, the crankshaft sensor for the 4.0 liter six cylinder engine is located on the bell housing on the driver's side. It is held in place by a bracket secured by one of bell housing mounti9ng bolts (manual transmission) or two smaller bolts for the manual transmission. It is a hall effect sensor and reads special notches on the flywheel, three sets of four notches to generate the pulses to fire the coil. I would post copies of the pictures from the manual but it would probably be a copyright violation. Also, I am pretty sure that the crankshaft sensor locations are the same for the 4.0 six in the Cherokee. Glenn
nope cant do it. no such thing as an 8.0 liter in a jeep
The firing order should be 1-5-3-6-2-4.
The crank sensor is located on the top of the bell housing on the drivers side.
check harmonic balancer. check harmonic balancer.
The harmonic balancer is located on the front of the crankshaft
It is located behind the harmonic balancer on the front of the engine. You'll need a special puller to remove the balancer.
On any motor, the harmonic balancer is on the front of the crankshaft. It is what the pulley is bolted to.
No
loosen the center bolt and get your self a harmonic balancer puller just make sure you loosen the center bolt enough but not too much but you need a balancer puller.
no its not i paid 50.00 dollars for balancer and put it in about one hour
You will need a harmonic balancer puller. Remove crankshaft bolt and washer, reinstall bolt without the washer approximately 10 turns. This will protect the threads in the crankshaft. Install puller and remove balancer. You cannot remove the balancer without this puller. They are inexpensive or try to borrow one.
Hi The 3.5L has a tapered shaft, you MUST use a balancer puller or you will damage the pulley. These pullers are under $30 bucks
You turn it counter clockwise to loosen.
If the engine is a 3100 V6, the crankshaft sensor is located behind the harmonic balancer (crankshaft pulley). You'll need a special puller to remove tha balancer. The sensor is attached by two bolts onto the timing cover. Replace sensor and plug it in. Repalce balancer& belts...you're done!
On the harmonic balancer that's attached to the front of the cranck shaft
