Look I know this has probably been asked a hundred times. But I can not find any solid answers. I have a 98 xj 5 speed, about 2 months ago I put a rebuilt head due to bad valve and having a misfire while I was there I decided I would do a new timing set knowing it's never been changed before and at that point I said the hel* with it lets do a cam so I installed a lunati cam in. After I finished the started up drove it around and sounded awesome. After breaking the cam in I got a code for cam and crank sync. I did not dagree the cam because I knew there was no way to adjust timing on the 4.0 and could not find a timing set that was adjustable. I even called 505 performance and told them what I was doing and bought the timing set from them. And the one they sent me was not adjustable either. So I timed it as you normally would. Upon taking off from a stop there is no power then around maybe 1100 to 1500 rpms the jeep wakes up and moves like boost has kicked in. How the hell can I adjust the timing on this thing to clear that code and get that initial take off power bad?
