I have a '00 XJ. Recently, my engine light has come on a few times after fill-up. I've read the other posts regarding this, but none included this: when I accelerate, as it's coming up in the RPMs, it "bucks" or misses a few times. I was wondering if having a leak in the fuel/emissions...

Wups. I meant digital multimeter.

Question. In checking ohms in a cam sensor and a crank sensor, what should the reading be if it's good? Some people say "infinite" - what does that look like on a digital meter? I have gotten readings of 0.00 and 7.5 on the cam sensors and 0.00 and 15.5 ish on the crank sensors. VERY CONFUSING!!!

That's exactly what I'm trying to do. I have already changed out the crank sensor. I changed out the cam sensor last night. It ran for 7 minutes, then stalled and wouldn't start again. The old sensor was showing 0.00 ohms cold and 15 ohms after stalling, so I assumed it was bad. I didn't...

Thanks, guys. Good stuff to know! I'll let you know what happens.

Maybe you are right. BUT, since i changed out my alternator, all my light and fan pulsing and transmission shifting has gone away.

Thanks. Where would i put the wrench to crank it?

Those links didn't show anything but a NAPA search page.

Thanks. Now, which cylinder is the #1 cylinder?

Chieftain, the alternator i installed has TWO and ONLY TWO terminals as did the one I took off. AND, there were no "extra" wires hanging idly by with nowhere to go.

Why would I pour water on the sensor?

Just to let you know, the voltage regulator IS in the alternator.

Does anyone know how to bring the engine up to TDC for the #1 cylinder? 2000 XJ, 4.0.

I do not know how to do that. And, my Jeep is a 2000 and doesn't have a distributor.

I read that article a few days ago. Thanks for posting it for me. It sounded hard for a very amateur mechanic. Do you think it is?
