Help with Crank Position Sensor - 89 Jeep Cherokee LTD

Re: Help with Crank Position Sensor - 89 Jeep Cherokee LTD
I used to have an `89 Cherokee with the 4.0L engine. The CPS connector
was on the driver's side, hard up against the firewall, just above the
intake manifold.
My brother-the-mechanic once told me that the manufacturer was aware
that there were problems with the 4.0L CPS and had issued a repair kit,
that didn't really do any good.
You might find this interesting:
<URL:http://autorepair.about.com/cs/faqs/l/bl557h.htm>
It seems that some CPS units were made to stand too far from the
flywheel, giving a weak or faulty signal, causing hard starting or no
starts. This, of course, doesn't explain why unplugging and replugging
the CPS connector can cure a "no start" condition.

Re: Help with Crank Position Sensor - 89 Jeep Cherokee LTD
Hi Guys:
Thanks for the tips. I was able to locate the connector (I think). On my
89, the connector is one of the 'water tight' variety. I opened it up and
took a look - the inside looked brand new - clean as a whistle - I guess all
that sealing really does work - on this connector anyway.
Thanks again.

Re: Help with Crank Position Sensor - 89 Jeep Cherokee LTD
I sent some pix of the driver's side CPS & Connector to Bill if he wanted to
post the pix to his website's tech section.
You can remove it from underneath using your 1/4" socket set with a 7/16"
socket on a long extension.
The connector mount takes, I seem to recall, a 10 mm wrench
