Just don't drop one of the bolts down the bellhousing:scared:XJ98Jeep said:
When mine went on my 2000, my own mechanic told me to go with dealer parts. Of course its more expensive, but you don't want to replace it 6mos or year down the road, unless you love your jeep doing it to you missionary style. I picked it up for 125USD. X2 on the bolts, use a piece of gum or something like that to hold the bolt on the socket.

Why do you need a CPS? Replacement or Spare.... ??
IF you are replacing the CPS....
This may sound like a stupid question...., but how do you know you need to replace the CPS?
I'm replacing it. Randomly, my Jeep would just act like I let off the gas completely and the engine would make popping sounds that I could feel through the gas pedal (misfire, perhaps?), and if I let it idle it would go down to almost stalling, then come up to like 1300 RPM, and go down and up over and over. I could either wait it out, or mash the gas pedal and it would go away. Then I was fourwheeling, and my engine completely shut down. I turned the key and it turned over great, but no spark or anything.

Just went thru a similar occurrence on my '98 XJ 4.0L and the problem was not the CPS (Crank Position Sensor); it was actually the other CPS (Cam Position Sensor) which is inside the distributor.
My problem was a worn distributor shaft bushing causing the distributor shaft to wobble and the CPS to rub against the curved metal shield mounted to the distributor base plate. This caused the 5VDC reference voltage to short to ground and the ECM to shut down until the ground in the circuit was resolved....

It's also comes with a 2 year warranty. All of the more expensive ones I found were only 1 year.Saudade said:
