This past Sunday I drove all the way to Dallas and on the way back 30 miles south of La Vernia I felt/heard a bam, decided to stop to check what it was, I didn’t see anything wrong so I get back in. When I tried to start the engine it didn’t want to fire up.

Luckily I had Randy’s cell number on me and called him. Not long after randy shows up with Ray and mange to start the engine but it always died giving code PO320 (distributor sensor). Randy towed my Jeep to his place and then gave my girlfriend and me a ride to get a rental car. We got home around 3:30am.

I am so glad that the jeep broke down where it did and I am very thankful to Randy and Ray for helping us out.

I will be going back to SA next weekend to change the distributor.

Ok so PO320 is crankshaft sensor. I don’t have to replace the distributor so it should be an easy fix.

Isn't the crankshaft sensor part of the distributor on that model?

Hmmm, it's probably the camshaft position sensor in the distributor.

Where's the crankshaft position sensor? Bellhousing?

SCORE! Try this http://4x4xplor.com/cps.htm

Yes the crankshaft position sensor is at the bellhousing! Looks like a really easy fix.

Thanks for the link and the help Tim!
