    Where to get these electrical connector pins?

    Thank you so much! My Jeep had everything transplanted into it from another one, so the wiring has been pulled out, sat around, probably got folded up, put back in, moved around more, etc. plus it's from 1996 and we live in the desert so that stuff gets old and worn out. I've wanted to buy a...

    Where to get these electrical connector pins?

    Wow, that's so great. Thank you! I might be doing the other end where it connects to the PCM as well. I don't want to bug on every little thing, is there a guide or something that lists the terminal types? Thank you so much!

    Where to get these electrical connector pins?

    Hi, I'm trying to put some fresh wiring into my CPS plug and figured out how to take one apart, but I'm not sure what kind of pins these are or where to order them. Does anyone know where to find them or what this style is called? I searched for wiring harness pins, wiring connector pins, and a...

    WHY does a Crank sensor fail? Need help.

    Thanks everyone, for doing so much explaining of how these things work. Yeah, I'm curious if there's some kind of alternative CPS that could work better. Whatever the route, I wish the guy who buys parts for AZ would notice that every one that gets sold gets returned 2-3 times before...

    WHY does a Crank sensor fail? Need help.

    Good ideas. Especially drilling the holes out or slotting them to get it closer. Was talking to my Dad who was an automotive engineer for many years and he said bench testing how close something metal or magnetic needs to be to the sensor might give an idea of how close it needs to be to the...

    WHY does a Crank sensor fail? Need help.

    Thanks Tim_MN, that might be a factor too. I'd thought it sounded a little more exhaust-y than I remembered. Your comment spurred on a new thought. So, I totally agree with you guys, not arguing, but hoping for a new solution to the old problem...if everyone carries an extra CPS with them, and...

    WHY does a Crank sensor fail? Need help.

    Thank you, lawsonc. I'll look there for the grounding and wiring issues. We've suspected because for a while some of the issues were intermittent that it might be in the wiring itself. CJR, thank you for the great explanation of how they can be manufactured to fail. Really disappointing to get...

    WHY does a Crank sensor fail? Need help.

    Ok, that makes sense. I think I need to replace it but check the grounds and the wires leading to the CPS for shorts (so I don’t fry another one). Does that sound about right? Thank you. You guys are the best. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    WHY does a Crank sensor fail? Need help.

    Good parts, you bet! So, if I get a good quality new CPS - will do! So, heat kills them. Is the heat tolerance about the normal operating temp for the Jeep? (engine wasn't hotter than normal) Any other ideas or things to look out for? (and you have no idea how happy I'd be if it was just...

    WHY does a Crank sensor fail? Need help.

    1996 XJ with Golen 4.6L stroker, Auto, don't recall on transfer case Hi, we've been having trouble getting my XJ back to running for a while, but it's been in "crank, no start" for a while. We've done a LOT of replacements to the stuff with lifetime warranties (sensors, distributor, plug...

    +1 for Precision injectors

    For anyone thinking about using this Precision Auto Injectors company, here's what happened to us. It sounds like we may be the exception, but we've had a lot of great interactions with other vendors, and this is really frustrating. I wouldn't expect miracles, but some communication would be...
