You just told us you left the cam sensor unplugged. Did you erase the trouble
codes, before trying it again?

Re: Changing the name of my jeep from Blackie to Black Cloud (or error 54 diagnostic code)
 

William Oliveri did pass the time by typing:
> How do you erase the trouble codes?

Disconnect the battery for about 20-30 min
and that will cause it to dump everything.

That also resets the tranny computer and other
things. For the first few dozen miles you run
after doing this drive "normally". i.e. don't
mash the gas, the computer will be fine tuning
the mix and other things.

PS. This is exactly what you have to do if you
ever replace the header, injectors, or O2 sensor.
Otherwise the computer can become confused.
