A co-worker has a code reader that I think he'll loan me. Just out of
curiousity, where are these two sensors located, how costly is the
fix, and is it a DIY job?
Thanks!

Re: '98 TJ Bucking Bronco
The camshaft position sensor is located under the distributor cap, and the
crankshaft position sensor is located on the outside of the flywheel
housing, on the driver's side up near the top. The camshaft sensor is easy,
the crankshaft sensor is easy too but access to it is not, it takes long
arms and long socket extensions. Neither part is expensive to buy... $80 or
so for the crankshaft sensor, unsure for the camshaft sensor but probably
less than the crankshaft position sensor.

Jerry,
My buddy hooked up his code reader and no codes displayed. He does
have a couple of questions tho...
What is fuel pressure supposed to be and what is the "bleed down"
rate? He also noted (by looking at the tailpipe) that it appears I'm
running a bit rich, but also wondered if that had something to do with
all the chemicals (the HEET and injector cleaner) that I'd had in the
last couple tanks of gas.
Really appreciate any help.
