Switched out the Camshaft Position Sensor after the scanner picked it up as an error, before it was randomly shutting off about once a day. Scanner picked it up as an error again after replacing the camshaft sensor, so now I gotta switch out the crankshaft and hopefully that'll fix it. Great video, had no idea where it was located.
@robertgomez5251 with the age and milage on the Jeep I know there will be more videos. Thank you for leaving such an awesome comment! You guys are the reason I keep doing them. Happy wrenching! ~Mr. C.
Just back to say thanks for the video. This was exactly what was wrong with my jeep as well. The pickup coil died. I just took one from my 96 and now its running again and the check engine light is gone. So glad I didn't have to change that crankshaft sensor! I've done it before a long long time ago and it took me hrs and hrs and hrs lol.
Learn something new today thank you a lot I never knew I could diagnose those trouble codes by cycling the key like that I came up with the same codes which I had already ordered the parts new crankshaft position sensor and new camshaft position sensor thanks for the information
Raymond Bird glad to help! Ultimately my problem was bad solder joints on the pcm connectors. The one mounted on the passenger fire wall. Thanks for watching and commenting. Good luck! ~Mr. C.
My Jeep is doing identical thing, plus a grinding noise. Crankshaft+ camshaft. Camshaft position sensor first. It's winter, so we're doing the easy one first. Having fun.
My 04 Grand Cherokee is having the exact same issue. I replaced the camshaft position sensor and just the crank sensor and am going to replace that too.
Mine did the exact same thing.. still broke down..replaced the crank sensor and still no luck. Had started back firing the last few times it did crank before replacing the sensor.. maybe it's. A bad part...I don't know but so irritating..
That smile at 6:40🤣🤣🤣 just made my day man. That was great. Thanks for a great video. Have watched several and yours had been the most useful thus far.
Leighlan Brown you just made MY day with your awesome comment. I am glad you liked it and that the video helped you. Viewers like you are the reason I love doing it! ~Mr. C.
You saved me so much time. Video is clear, details are explained awesomely, I can understand you. Lol. I feel like I had a great friend with me helping me through. I hope I won't need it, but I'll check your channel for anymore future repair.
Code 12 = Battery power to PCM was disconnected Code 54 = No CAMSHAFT signal detected during engine cranking (a scan tool would read this as P0340) Code 55 = Completion of fault code display (this is an End of Message code) Code 11 (scan tool code P0320) is no crank reference signal detected during engine start up. For others that have been dealing with these issues, replacing the two sensors should make the Jeep happy again. Add extra insulation if you can to protect the wires from engine heat. Hope this info helps someone! Thank you for the video :)
Steven that is some excellent information! Thank you so much for taking the time to help everyone out. Our ZJ just tripped over 242000 and still runs like a top. Amazing machines. ~Mr. C.
My 98 ZJ had a P0340. Only code it had. It still ran but the check engine light was on and the code wouldn't clear. Changed the camshaft sensor since it's easy. No change. code cleared after changing the crankshaft sensor.

Did the crankshaft sensor work?? I seen you did another video on the ignition pick up or camshaft position sensor too.. my jeep is doing exactly what yours is doing in this video… I have a 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with the same engine.. I replaced Battery and terminals Ignition Coil Distributor Cap and Rotor Button All Spark plugs and wires Starter Fuel pump Fuel injectors Only think I haven’t replaced was the crankshaft sensor and Camshaft Position sensor but sometimes it will crank then sometimes it will crank for a few seconds and die and continue to turn over but not start until a few hours go by.. I am lost on what else will work so I’ll buy both parts today at Autozone.. within 2 weeks I have spent over 500 dollars trying to fix this things. I love the jeep but I hate what it is doing right now.. having to hitch a ride to work and find a ride back home until I can fix it is a bitch..
@XNonexistenceX check out my comment on the cam sensor video. In summary, wiggle the three connectors that go to the ecm on passenger side firewall then try to start. My board connector failed inside of the box on mine. Took me a while to figure it out. ~Mr. C.
There might be another way to get at that inside. The cabin would have heating vents are in the floor remove the carpet. Maybe I have a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee replaced the c sincere campsencer which one are you replacing Samsung? I replaced that one, that's the crank sensor. Hopefully my spell check is right
@markgabello58 in the 2001 that might be true for the WJ. In the ZJ body you would need to drill a hole in the floorboard. I have done this with another Jeep I own. I will make a short video showing it. Thanks for the information and watching. ~Mr. C.
I love my zj as well. Mine started missing and bucking and backfiring. So I started my quest. Spark plugs and wires first. Then fuel filter. Then fuel pump. Then dist cap and rotor. Then dist. Finally, after all that money started to really pinpoint. That sensor. I hope, anyway. Oem part is otw and will be replaced with ignition coil as well. Might as well everything else will be brand new. Obviously, it hasn't been fixed yet, but after I get my sensor, the jeep should be running like back in 01. "It's a 96" lol. I really.like the code thing. How has noone ever mentioned that before. One question. I have never ever seen the check engine light and I've had some stuff go really wrong before. Does it only come on when you check or what? It's not broken. Comes on with keys. Idk. Just curious. Thank you for your help.
@Jonathan Terry did you get the sensor installed? Did it fix the problem? Glad you liked the code display technique. It's super easy and convenient. I have seen it on. I accidentally left the MAP sensor unplugged one time and started it up and it triggered a check engine light to turn on. Maybe check it by doing that. Thanks for watching! I would love to know how it is coming along. ~Mr. C.
you described a PCM ISSUE. if you have bucking that means you have shutting on and off. if you have crank position go bad, it will shut off clean, as no fuel or spark. I would be suspicious of the PCM mount and plug connections as well as the wiring harness across the back of valve cover. I also had the plug connections to the crank sensor had wires touching intermittently and seems it ruined my crank position sensor
Donnie Bradley thank you so much for taking time to provide such good information. You are absolutely correct! It was a PCM ISSUE! The problem I found was inside of the PCM on the solder connections that attach the header connectors to the board. There are some videos of this procedure on RUclips and I found them very helpful. Viewers like you are the reason I really like this community for solving some tough problems like this. ~ Mr. C.
Oh wow I had just changed my spark plugs and wires before this same issue plagued me. And that plate ontop of the distributor had come off. I just put it back. That means its a really good chanage this is my exact same issue. Must be a 97 thing. because I've done extensive work on my 96 and I've never had these issues. The only thing that was actually wrong with my 96 was the computer had a short and needed replaced. It just kept saying something was wrong with any and every random sensor and I kept replacing sensors until I finally gave in and took it to the dealership. They tried to charge me 400 to replace the computer but I decided to do it myself. Paid 40 bucks for a used one and I only had to remove 3 plugs and 3 screws to switch it out.
@Lakario Davis interesting information. It might be a 97 thing because I too had problems with the computer. Instead of replacing the complete unit I disassembled it an re soldered all three connectors pins to the board. Thanks for sharing! Happy wrenching! ~Mr. C.
I recently replaced the starter for my 99 jeep grand cherokee laredo it was running fine then all of sudden died at a red light i bought a crankshaft position sensor hopefully that helps .
Angel F at the end of the day it was a PCM problem. I found some bad solder joints on the connector going into the PCM. The Jeep is still running great after all of the sensors were replaced and the PCM was repaired. Thanks for watching! ~Mr. C.

After you unplug the camshaft sensor. Why can't you just plug the new sensor in without installing it back in place ? Drill hole in firewall of engine compartment and attach it to the firewall above. Wouldn't that work ?
Kenneth Laibson sounds like that process might work. I opted for the no drill method because the Jeep does not have any holes drilled in the firewall yet and we wanted to keep it that way. The drill method would be excellent if you had to take the sensor in and out a bunch but the old one lasted 200k + so I am hoping this one will provide the same service. Excellent question, thanks for asking! ~Mr. C.
@@NaturesCadenceFarm Hi so anyway I put a sensor in by just pluging it in to the sensor port. And hanging it on the upper part of firewall and used JB Weld. Glue, without drilling an what looked like a difficult place to take out and replaced. A Sensor. Now took 15mins to replace with no difficulty .
james ark the "circle one" has been called many names. I will try to cover the ones I know. If anyone knows more I would love to know.

Really? Didn't learn a thing. After all that watching this video to change mine. Come on dude, you should have never put this video up. It was a waste of my time.
It helped me. I've watched about twenty videos today and at least he told me where he was located under the vehicle so I could get my bearings. And his kind response to you was more than I could've mustered.
Switched out the Camshaft Position Sensor after the scanner picked it up as an error, before it was randomly shutting off about once a day.

Really? Didn't learn a thing. After all that watching this video to change mine. Come on dude, you should have never put this video up. It was a waste of my time.
So sorry it didn't help you. Luckily we aren't monetized so you didn't have to watch an ad too. Good luck with your Jeep. 👍
It helped me. I've watched about twenty videos today and at least he told me where he was located under the vehicle so I could get my bearings. And his kind response to you was more than I could've mustered.
