93 zj nightmare
Pulled the distributor to replace bushings, lot of play in the shaft..... re
installed the distibutor then it would not crank, I have learned alot about the indexing of a 4.0 distributor in the last few days. Now have it running go around the block, I have no upshift? revved the hell out of it now i have a nice deep knock in the engine, rod? It shifted good before i removed the distributor. Came home cut it off.... it would not re crank??? checked the codes 12, 24, 54, 34, 51, 55. Tried to clear the codes (removed battery cable for 2 hours) still same codes Cam sensor wires do not look great in the dist, so i will be replacing this first, but why no up shift??? I need to get it to shift so i can take it to the shop and do the bottom end, oil pump, bearings etc...... |

It would have been easier just to replace the distributor. http://members.cox.net/wilsond/distributor/ Unless you actually turned the engine you shouldn't have had to re-index the distributor. > Now have it running > go around the block, I have no upshift? revved the hell out of it now i have > a nice deep knock in the engine, rod? .... You know this now, but over-revving an engine that isn't working is the absolute wrong thing to do... The 4.0 is a zero interference design so you can't bend a valve or rod. > It shifted good before i removed the distributor.

Thanks Doug
I was by myself and i installed the distributor and it would not fall into the oil pump, so i bumped the engine without the hold down in place, the distributor jumped up instead of falling in so thats where the fun began, Has anyone pulled the oil pan on these with the engine still inframe?

Ok replaced the cam sensor and it fired right up. (took pictures this time
before i removed the distributor) codes went away except for the 24, I looked at the connector for the TPS and it was wet, I am letting it dry out for awhile and will try it again. If OBD checks out I will replace the bearings this weekend and the oil pump. "Mike Romain" > wrote in message ... > I have seen a 4.2 engine run when it was clocked 180 out.

Checking the TPS sensor is fairly easy if you have a volt meter. with the key on, engine not running, backprobe the outer two pins and you should see 5V, keep the neg side connected and backprobe the center pin. Now slowly open and close the throttle plate. The resistance should move smoothly with no jumps or drops and range about 1 to 4 volts, mine measures .748 to 3.8. If you get some drops, take a few seconds to quickly open and close the butterfly then try again. Sometimes a crudspot develops and can be wiped off by exercising the throttle plate. -- DougW |
