Re: 1992 Wrangler won't start in Morning
Thanks for everyone again. Thanks DougW for the website and links to the pictures for the camshaft position sensor. It looks like the 92 is setup in a similar fashion to the 93 ZJ, where the distributor would have to come out. I am going to bypass the ground to the firewall with the booster cable first and see what happens I will let everyone know what I find out Again, your help has been very much appreciated Nadi -- nelkhour ----------------------------------------------------------------------- View this thread: http://www.carstalk.net/viewtopic-360641.htm Send from http://www.carstalk.ne |
Re: 1992 Wrangler won't start in Morning
The 'far' more common CPS failure on those engines is the 'Crankshaft
Position Sensor'. The cam sensor seldom fails on the early 4.0's. The CPS plug and socket just get dirty. You can clean them with a spray contact cleaner that electronic shops sell or even use WD40. WD40 is a good electrical cleaner and water displacer. The plug and socket for the CPS are located at the back of the intake manifold with the CPS at the top corner of the bell housing back there. While you are cleaning plugs and sockets, I recommend you do the ones on the throttle body too. They all can benefit from a clean. I use dielectric grease on the plug seal skirts when putting them back together. The grease is sometimes sold as spark plug boot protector. It is the same stuff you put in plug boots so they don't stick.
