The cps could be a cam or crank sensor. The cam sensor is inside the distributor. The crank sensor mounts through the top of the bell housing, pointing at the flywheel.

How do you check a crankshaft sensor on a 1994 Jeep Cherokee?

I have found the best way to change this sensor on the 318cid model is from the top. I removed the transmission crossmember and jacked the transmission all the way up to gain more space behind the engine. You will find the sensor on the right side, follow the 3 wire harness and unplug it. Then using a couple of extentions and swivels you can reach behind to feel the bolts and guide the socket on to the bolts. I could not see the bolts at all it was done by feel. Remove the bolts and sensor, then reverse this procedure.


What are timing specs for a 1998 Jeep Cherokee 6 cylinder?

Timing on the 1990 4.0L / inline 6-cylinder engines are set & locked at factory and can only be changed by modifying parts... and modifying the parts is a BAD idea since you are masking a problem rather than solving it. You'll end up with a worse issue when you are done.If you do have a timing issue it is either a stretched timing chain or sensor related.Timing is controlled by the computer and is not adjustable. Computer timing is determined by finding TDC (top dead center) with the CKS (Crankshaft position sensor) and CPS (camshaft position sensor) but when either goes out you will generally have an engine that stalls intermittently or a 'no-start' condition.If you are having trouble diagnosing the issues you can use the diagnostic help at:http://www.lunghd.com/Tech_Articles/Engine/Basic_Sensors_Diagnostics.htm

2000 Jeep Cherokee gas and battery gages not working car does not start?

My 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee was doing the exact same thing. The dealership told me the crank sensor had shorted out and caused all of the problems. They replaced it and I am back in business!!! I agree, mine was giving "NO BUS" error on the odometer and the CPS (Crank Position Sensor) was the culprit. Located on the rear of the top lip of the transmission, above the opening for the flywheel. I replaced mine myself, HUGE PAIN....so, I'd recommend having it done...
