Changing the Camshaft Position Sensor 3 8L Wrangler P0340

[@Wes-y5w]

Extremely helpful! Couldn't have done it without your awesome video. Avoided your broken removal challenge by turning the unbolted old sensor 180°. The back of the sensor has a more centered pry spot to force it straight up.

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Glad we could help. Jeeps are great but they do take work to keep them going. We are kind of hard on them so there will always be something that needs to be fixed....

[@christina56536]

Just had this pop up and pulled the code. Thank you and God Bless!

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Welcome! It's a real easy thing to change.

[@Damian-um7mv]

Thanks so much , i was trying to find the location of the sensor and your video really helped with that.

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Glad to have helped.

[@ThatEpicLlama]

Just ordered the part and was curious to see how easy it would be to replace. Thanks so much!!

[@FloridaJeepRides]

It was fairly easy to get to and replace.

[@brandaywine]

Great video. I really loved the mustard seed and having faith comparison and using it in your daily life. Awesome.

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Thanks so much! It was a hard to reach part.

Loved your camshaft position sensor replacement video. I have a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Sport 3.8 that goes into “limp” mode. The red lightning bolt symbol comes on on the dash and the vehicle goes into “limp” mode. I’d I shut the vehicle off and immediately restart it, the warning light stays off for a few minutes and the vehicle goes out of “limp” mode. After a few minutes, the warning light comes back on and the cycle repeats. I replaced the camshaft position sensor but it didn’t fix the issue. Any suggestions on what to do next?

[@FloridaJeepRides]

I went through so many repairs on the 2007. There is one for the crank as well.

[@orlandorodriguez1492]

Thank you so much, I just did it today! God bless you 🙏🏼

[@FloridaJeepRides]

You're so welcome!

[@girlnextdoor2422]

Guys like you that make these videos are such a big help for girls like me.

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Thanks

[@BestMoviClipz]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Got 8 codes off with this replacement!🙏🏽😃

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Glad it helped!

[@mikea9456]

How did you get the broken end out?

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Fortunately it came out with some bent needle nose pliers. I has able to get a good bite and twist.

[@billyray6913]

Do you know if the 08 jk 3.8 has 2 sensors?

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Not too sure, Ill ask around.

[@Ronicon08]

Yes it does. Both censors can cause your Jeep to stall and hard-long start. They are called Camshaft position sensor the other is Crankcase Position sensor. The one that Matt is showing here, the other is on the bell housing under the Jeep on the passenger side. SU10456 SU13456 Mine is also a 2008 and these are AutoZone part numbers.

[@thinkclear3834]

Is it worth changing the one underneath the car ? Even if I don’t have those codes? Would it do anything

[@jsnmarch]

Another day another repair. At least it's paid off and it's an easy fix.

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Yes - Its running good and we have trail tested it 3 times this month. It's nice to have it back running.

[@Oliver-b7e]

Im wondering if you can do a video about the throttle position sensor. Ive look everywhere in KZbin and cant find any on this engine and i dont know where it is. Im not a mechanic so im having a hard time Thanks in advance

[@FloridaJeepRides]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXbOeJaufNWlb6csi=6FNsPGcHFciurnfG I changed the whole thing.

[@طارقالبلوشي-ط3ل]

Hello sir, how are you? I have a problem. The P0344 sensor has been changed, but during the examination it appears again that this is possible

[@FloridaJeepRides]

On several of the components I've had similar issues I had to replace the EGR twice so far. Also the crankshaft sensor and camshaft sensor. But then again I bought cheap parts and then learning that if you do it cheap you probably have to do it twice. But so far It's OK

[@lalp01]

As explained. Even the complications with the plastic catch to the engine. The whole thing came out intact. Lubbed the area first. Thanks for the tips.

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Good to hear. We did the same thing on the 97 TJ

[@stevie_efbabyy]

Any idea how im getting coolant inside the plug between the sensor and the connector on the look? would this cause a code to be displayed? ive toying with the sensor all weekend after replacing it with an oem sensor, so far ive driven it around 20 miles and the code hasnt popped up

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Not too sure, if any one else has an Idea?

[@Danielxperez14]

Did the one you linked from Amazon last? The reviews are 50/50 but I need the sensor asap

[@FloridaJeepRides]

If the soot builds up it throws a error code. Currently I have not driven the Jeep much over the last two years. Its doing a turn over but not start thing unless you let it cool down again.

[@df05nova]

Nice video Matt. If this doesn’t fix it , I say you’ve should do a hemi swap video. Lol

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Deal! - Now if I had a bunch of cash to blow... Its all good now and we took it to Ocala the last two weekends. I still have an EGR video to post next Friday. That was a fun part to change.

[@billyray6913]

Does your jk keep going into limp mode every once in a while? I sound like you. I have changed so many components on this vehicle. It usually fixes the limp mode problem for a little while.... then something else goes wrong and it goes back into limp mode.... I have even rewired it. Lol. Can't figure out why it keeps going into limp mode. If anyone else has had this problem please help. God bless.

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Yes it does, I am taking it up to Jeepersden this Friday so it will be ready for Jeepin with Judd. I hope for the best. It could be something small and that would be great. Worst case is a very small head gasket leak or injector failure. Something is causing it to foul out components. I'll give a heads up when I find out.

[@Ronicon08]

Contact me. My limp mode issue was resolved by reshaping a female connector on one of the plugs going into the main PCU.

[@rsreidjr]

Is this not the Crankshaft sensor?

[@FloridaJeepRides]

amzn.to/3C5ulc7 That was the part. The crankshaft on the 3.8 is on the side of the block. I have mixed up the names though.

[@donlum9128]

My JK is starting to be hard to start doesn't throw code. Has 170 k on engine. Then starts runs fine. Could this be issue.

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Most of the time this sensor kills the fire. It turns over but never starts. I usually keep an extra just incase. I just replaced it again on Saturday. I miss the old days where if it had fuel and fire you could at least get it to start. Next up is a new code reader that can offer better reads.

[@brennenudager8063]

Told my mountain to move and it did too. Think I benefitted far more spiritually than my jeep did physically today.

[@FloridaJeepRides]

When you're doing a jeep repair if that makes you feel like you need to pray to get it done you know that there's a lesson to be learned. I had to learn this one twice.

[@RoxanneEdits]

Thank you so much for this video

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Most welcome 😊

[@RoxanneEdits]

@@FloridaJeepRides well happens..about to removed the sensor, sensor was to old and grease. Try to remove and crack same.like your..i panic and dont know what to do and thinking to take to shop but see your video again ang again i will try to removed again.thats it if i mess.i need the car to work..

[@sluggotinfantryman]

Okay these things are easy to work on. Not like a 5.7 liter GMC 99 Sierra where you can sit in the engine compartment but okay. I cannot figure out heater deal once freezing left side doesn't work. Sensors don't like cold.

[@FloridaJeepRides]

There is still plenty of room in the bay. When you get a straight 6 even more

[@workingguy84]

I had this sensor replaced about a year ago. Today it’s has the same symptoms as last year. It starts, but runs really rough then dies. Started it up again and runs really rough. So I did checked to see what code it’s throwing. Comes up as camshaft sensor again. It takes about 15 minutes

[@FloridaJeepRides]

I just had to change it again. 8 months. Now the big question is how come they are not lasting?

[@akaitv6606]

Did you know they are set with an air gap , very tricky to set

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Air gap? What is the process of doing that?

[@jacklee1778]

He should have sprayed the part to loosen it first before trying to remove not after it broke .

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Its always a good idea to hit some WD40 or PB blaster on stuff.

[@shayrussell5858]

Isn't that the crank sensor

[@FloridaJeepRides]

There is a camshaft and crankshaft sensors. I have changed both.

[@miguelcruz-lg3gq]

Amén God bless you

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Thank you

[@vincentsuttmeier5045]

It broke because you side loaded the plastic and did not pull in straight out.

[@FloridaJeepRides]

That would be the case. I have done it several more times and it came out good.

[@billyray6913]

Twist it

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Twisted

[@skipperrowan636]

My favorite part is how you talked about Jesus

[@FloridaJeepRides]

Thank you - prayer is always helpful.
