Ferm, I need Jeep help asap

[phatdaddy]

me too

Yea Right Randle and Phat youre probably like me and don't know what that thing IS!!!

If I had found this post sooner I could have saved you a little time as the CPS is tied into the main 5V reference line coming out of the PCM and it shorts out everything. If you test it by the book it will tell you to replace the PCM. Chrysler figured out there mistake a year or 2 later, but ALL 96 Chrysler products are plagued with this issue, and the crank sensor is the first one to fail normally.

i agree with both of the post above

I especially agree with this post.

Do what Ferm said....if not you can check the GFCI on the Flux Capacitor making sure it's top dead center on the re-entry differential.

Hey now, that is just plain wrong to go telling him stuff like that. Everybody knows they are now using arc fault's, GFCI'c went out years back.

you guys(except for Ferm) must be really bored, is the weather that bad where you're at? Ferm, thats teh first time I've ever seen a sensor fail to ground, Its in every trouble shooting guide I've used, but I've never seen it before. I called freind of mine and he got me on the right track, I had problems with the asd before, so I got hung up there. Thanks anyway.

I am not bored at all, matter of fact I kind a like having you guys around.

On the Chrysler products with a 3 wire crank sensor it is actually fairly common, and seems to be the only one that fails to ground and takes out the whole circuit. The earlier 95- SBEC controllers had 2 5 volt regulators in them and didn't seem to suffer this problem, but the later 95+ JTEC and SBEC's in the cars had the single regulator till around 2000 or so.
