Subbed? Also does anyone else's crank sensor have the rubber cover for the hole? And my new crank sensor doesn't have any felt spacer is that normal?

Update found crank sensor clip no properly seated a wire going to sensor on transfer case had been damaged and o2 sensor broke near the cat...fixed all that put the o2 sensor just unplugged it still getting codes p0320 and p1391 even after I cleared them and still cuts out at 2k rpm to 2.5k but runs great other than that so I purchased another crank sensor (mopar) again and cam sensor let you know the results once installed

Your O2 sensors need to be included, unplugging them can give you all sorts of issues.
and Thx for the update, keep them coming.

Problem solved ended up that the PO had put a brand new grand cherokee distributor in it which has same distributor but different cam sensor evidently because it had a gray clip on my jeeps wiring harness and my buddis 3 97-99 xj''s has a different shaped black plug I switched plugs put just one of his cam sensors in and rotor left my cap and bottom half of distributor and guess what no more misfire at 2100 rpms and she runs like it's brand new....
