Camshaft sensor issue

Dallas Kincaid 9 May 2005 20:30:54
 So, I'm out enjoying the fantastic Sunday afternoon here in Maryland
and my 97 Wrangler sputters and dies. The check engine light comes on
and I can't get it started.

Finally, I disconnect the battery (I was getting desperate!) and I was
able to get it to start up and it ran fine the rest of the way home.

When I got home and checked the codes, I have a 54 which indicates a
problem with the camshaft sensor.

My jeep has had some electrical problems in the past so my assumption
is that this error is not really a sensor problem, but in fact some
kind of a bad ground issue.

Thoughts?

The Camshaft sensor is located in the distributor.
You have to remove the distributor to replace the sensor

Assuming you have the I6 (you didn't say) then this gives you
the steps for removing/replacing the distributor. Doing the
camshaft position sensor just requires taking the distributor
further apart. IF there is oil in there you may be better off
just replacing the unit as the new one comes with a new sensor.
