I am changing my Crankshaft Position Sensor (CPS) this week and was wondering if there is any "tips" or "tricks" I need to know before going into this little project. Any information is appreciated.

Thanks :driver:
 
dont rip off the little piece of paper that is on the end. it is the spacer for correct distance between flywheel and sensor.
 
Don't drop one of the bolts down into the tranny case.
 
Any other tips of the trade I need to know? ? ?
 
Also make sure you secure the wiring, if you are not careful it will get too close to the manifold/header and melt. Resulting in an engine that runs great until warmed up, then wont start. Ask me how I know.:driver:

Click to expand...
That is the problem that I am having with the XJ now so that is why I am replacing the CPS
 
just changed mine on my 97TJ this afternoon. If you can use a wrench, you'll be fine. quick ? though... CPS is camshaft position sensor and CKP is crankshaft position sensor right?

also... for the techs... my sensor didnt have any paper, etc. for a spacer. What should the clearance be then?

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Service and Repair Crankshaft Position Sensor Crankshaft Position Sensor The crankshaft position sensor is mounted to the transmission bellhousing at the left/rear side of engine block. This engines have the sensor attached with two bolts. REMOVAL Some model/engine combinations may require removal of air cleaner tubes for access to sensor. 1. Remove air cleaner tube(s) at throttle body (if necessary). 2. Near rear of intake manifold, disconnect pigtail harness (electrical connector) from main electrical harness. 3. Depending upon application, remove either sensor mounting bolts or nuts. 4. Remove sensor. INSTALLATION 1. Install sensor flush against opening in transmission housing. 2. 2.5L engines equipped with automatic transmission: Install and tighten two sensor mounting nuts to 19 N.m (14 ft. lbs.) torque. 3. Install and tighten two sensor mounting bolts to 19 N.m (14 ft. lbs.) torque. The two sensor mounting bolts are specially machined to correctly space unit to flywheel. Do not attempt to install any other bolts. 4. Connect sensor pigtail harness electrical connector to main wiring harness
