So the jeep had a check engine light for the Camshaft position sensor and a misfire code. Drove fine and the light went out by itself.
Flash forward 2 weeks, I'm driving along and the jeep starts to stutter going up hill about 35mph. Then it drives fine for the remaining 2 min ride home.
Decided to take it to the shop and it wont start. I wait 2 hours and it starts right up.
I'm reading alot on the forums that the Crankshaft position sensor (on bell housing) and Camshaft position sensor can cause these symptoms. I brought it to my mechanic today and he says he thinks that its the computer. (says he checked everythign else)
At this point.. it will start up but you have to wait for it to cool down after you restart it.. and it will sometimes miss while driving.
Is there any real way for him to rule out those sensors as the culprit? It doesn't help that I have a 97 XJ and they only made my computer for 1 year. I'd really rather it not be the computer. Where is it even located?
