You do know that the cam positioning sensor is in the distributor right,

claygrassmann

you can get it from the bottom with about 3 ft of extensions and a swivel its a pain but its way easier than trying to get it from the top

The Crankshaft Position Sensor (CPS) runs from the bellhousing on the transmission up to the pigtail wire harness up top by the manifold.

One thing though the code 54 is Cam Positioning Sensor.

A bad crankshaft position sensor (CPS) can also throw a code 054

Would dropping the tranny make it easier? You'd think they'd make a problematic little sensor a little easier to get to.

So, Ive replaced the CPS and the ignition coil and still no spark. Any ideas where to next. With it pulling a code 054 it seems that the only things it could be are either, camshaft sensor, HEM plate, computer module or ignition switch. Can auto part stores test all these? I know the can test the computer module but what about the sensors? Is there a way I can test them myself?

freegdr

you say you have a code 54 it state no signal at sync module that is in the dist the black module onder the rotor the wires for it are sticking out of the dist this been done yet

freegdr

ill see if i can get the list here

freegdr

code 54 say nothing about crank shaft position sensor ,code 11 talks about both cps pc

freegdr

i cant get it to post i searched 94 xj cherokee trouble codes and the list came up

ezab

I told him the same thing the other day.

freegdr

he was on just a second ago thats why i said it again and morning

You're right guys.......code 54 is CAM sensor related.

Test your cam sensor; they can be tested with a manual and a meter.

It is located in the distributor on a 1994 XJ.

freegdr

just replace it then drive it like you stole lol
