Jeep Cam Sensor Install 2000-2006

Video on how to install the cam sensor on a Jeep 4.0 or 4.6 engine from year models 2000-2006

[@Texasknowhow]

The best explanation of setting the timing on this jeep engine I've seen. You can also put the two dots towards each other (not the compression stroke) and then use the toothpick through the side of the Oil Pump drive unit housing and through the alignment hole in the reluctor ring. Note this in NOT on the compression stroke which is confusing to most folks. The way you show is what you do if you want to set this all up ON the compression stroke. Very good explanation.

Thanks for your post Doc! I just R/R'ed an engine in a 2000 Jeep Cherokee and couldn't figure out why it wasn't running but forgot to set the timing until I looked at your post!!!!

Thanks for posting up this video. Im on a 1600 mile trip in my 03' Jeep WJ w/4.0L and it just randomly cut off. Flipped the key 3 times n it sent code: P0340 being Crankshaft Position Sensor Circuit malfunction. So i just went ahead bought the Crankshaft position sensor & Camshaft position sensor, kill 2 birds with 1 stone.. Lol FYI for anyone that doesnt know DONT cheap out n buy any sensors that aint Mopar.. These motors dont like anything that isnt Mopar electrical wise

you are a great mechanic

[@mrktna]

interesting, i was taught that the two small holes, one in the housing and one in the rotor line up and put a piece of wire through the set it in making sure the cap connector faces straight backwards i have had mine installed for 1000 miles and runs great...but comparing it to yours one of us is 180 degrees out....does that matter?

[@ericmailhot5973]

Hi my sensor is ticking erratically.. but engine running good.. so I just replace the sensor? Thanks

[@nice22915]

i have a 2004 wrangler rubicon 4.0 am trying to install the sensor and syncronizer but it was running rough. where are the timing marks on the timing chain cover i found it on the harmonic balancer but cant find it on the cover?

[@torisunflower8044]

I have a 01 GCJ Laredo 4.0.

[@AngelsInTheRain]

okay so how do you get the cam synchronizer to be "timed" dose the pulse senor just have be aligned with the leading edge? like how do you know what one is the leading edge? sorry this has been giving me problems for the past month :(

[@FastasFox35]

can I turn it like a sbc to turn up the idle??

[@itsmesomeguy]

please help i have play in the top rotor of the oilpump drive...first distributorless 4.0 i just wanna know if theres suppoded to be any play there

[@kerryemmerson8954]

So what do you have to say about the 180 subject there Golden Guy. I thought your presentation was top notch and didn't fuck around but went straight for the nads.

[@Vcoldduck]

when did we stop putting dot to dot? 99 to 2001 4.0 are alike and the book calls for dot to dot, you would be 180 out let me know how it runs after your done.

[@josimon6229]

FYI - These instructions are 180 degrees off for a 2003 TJ 4.0. The camshaft sensor has to be installed with the tone ring on the other side for it to work.

i have a 2000 jeep 4.0 with a 48 tooth large sprocket rather than a 36 tooth. is the setup different?

[@frankjackson9821]

I’m doing a long block 4.0 on a 99 Cherokee. Everywhere I look online there’s confusion. Your video shows you starting the engine so, do you think I should line my marks up like yours? Mine has a cam sensor too.

[@jemobilmail001]

great video, thanks, I have 04 jeep wrangler, I just did a rebuild down replacing lifters, rods, camshaft, cam sensor, plug, coil bar, gaskets, timing chain. followed another video about timing marks, mine were installed facing each other. I didn't see if #1 cylinder was at full up. car now runs, I have a misfire in cylinder 5 sometimes. going to change the plug again. Cars runs smooth other than the misfire. Here is the weird part, the Cam Sensor, now sits a 90 degree angle from your video. If not at 90 degrees, car wont start and if adjusted out of the 90, runs rough and stalls. thoughts? thanks?
