it took a great deal of digging to get the right instructions.
 
And that is probably why more help was not forthcoming so that makes you a pioneer! (I didn't say trailblazer or pathfinder!)
 
Seriously, though, consider writing up a guide (see link at top of this page). Eventually, someone else is going to come looking for that same information.
 
Thanks!

I've got a 96 GC Limited with 212k miles on it. Until Thursday it ran great. Now it won't start. I'm getting code 11 and the Chilton's manual says 'Camshaft signal or Ignition signal - no reference signal detected during engine cranking'. A friend of mine (who is also a mechanic) told me that I need to replace the camshaft position sensor. He also told me that it is sometimes called a pick-up plate. I've been reading the forums but I'm only finding info about the Camshaft synchronizer. Now I'm more confused than I was before.
 
My first question is this: Is the Camshaft position sensor the same as the camshaft synchronizer? If my local parts store doesn't have a listing for the CMP sensor but does have the pick-up plate, will the pick-up plate work for me?
 
I love my Jeep but it is getting old and it's got a lot of miles on it. I want to keep it but I don't want to go broke fixing it. Is it likely that changing this part will fix the problem or only lead to more problems?
 
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Heeply Jeeply

hello blanblan,
 
i read your post and agree with you that this forum has been much help,
however you seem to have a good idea on what going on with the jeep.
 
 i have 2001 jeep gran cher and was having trouble starting it got code from key code was for crankshaft position sensor,changed c.p.s. and truck started right up.
 
now truck is running ruff and will not idle keeps stalling did key and now getting codes for p0351,p0352,p0353 ignition coil changed coil pack and p0351 went away and truck still running ruff will not idle without stalling.
 
code p0352,p0353 still showing i've taken all kinds of wrong advice from so called mechanics.i'm slowly learning that they've been wrong, changed spark plugs,fuel filter all kind of stuff and not one of them worked.
 
i'm hoping that you may have some insight on what i could do or is this a job for the dealer.trying to avoid the costly repair tag that the dealer going to tack on please help anything would be helpful
 
                                                 thank you;
                                                     carl

9 times out of 10 when your car GC is running rough like that. It is the Idle Air Control sensor. $30 at Advance Auto or $50 to 70 at Jeep dealer. Jeep was is better quality. When that fails then other sensors soon follow like Map sensor.

My 98 Jeep GC keeps stalling and noone knows why by jeepme

I own a '98 Jeep Grand Cherokee 6 cyl. IL, 2wd. (115,000 miles) and it keeps stalling (especially when it's cold). I'll start it up in the morning, back it out of the driveway, and it stalls (sometimes). Sometimes it'll start right back up...sometimes not?! I've spent a lot of money; taken it to two very respected auto shops here in town and still...nothing?! Not only can they find nothing wrong...it won't even stall for them?! Can someone please help me figure out what the heck is making my Jeep do this?! HELP!!

My dad had a similar problem, but it was a Cadillac. I researched problem and found reports of loose ground wires. It turned out to be the cause of his problem. Before left his car at the dealer for them to use. Would work fine. He picked it up. Stalled before he got home. It was a couple of years ago so I can't remember more details

I had a simular isues. I have a 04 jeep, and i thought it was just at a certian speed that it died off, but it latter would shut off on bumps, or at random times. I had to replace the computer on the car
