Firing order is correct.

Does anybody know what year cam sensors will fit on my 93?

i'm thinking 91 to 95 since 96 was a bastard year. but who knows, maybe the 97 to 99 will work also. but i know 90 won't as it's back in the renix era.

you can probably grab one from a yj or even tj also, i believe they're the same. again, 91 and up.

So in other words you changed the CAM SENSOR and that did the trick?

yup! It was easier to just put the whole new mopar distributor in so I just did that. But it was the cam sensor acting faulty on the distributor the shop put in causing all the issues.

Ok. You do know you could have just swapped the cam sensor into your new distributor right. That way you have a new dizzy.
