Bruski Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Cruiser: You replied to an early Dec post of mine regarding my '87 Laredo that occassionally stops running (starts up again cold). You suggested a possible crankcase position sensor. Haven't gotten around to replacing it because of location (in)accessability and early winter cold in Michigan. I noticed this pic on another post. Might this be what it is? Thanks, Bruski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Yes it is. If you click on the link in my signature, you should find a post and hopefully it has a photo of the proper wire harness routing along with a mod for increasing the sensor's output, and proper testing procedures. . It's not fun to replace. 11mm bolt heads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSimon Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 A 3/8" ratchet, a universal joint, and a looooong (like 3') extension will make it a lot easier to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64 Cheyenne Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 FWIW, don't try installing the tranny with the CPS in place, quite possibly you'll be buying another one if you do (CPS). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 A 3/8" ratchet, a universal joint, and a looooong (like 3') extension will make it a lot easier to change. ^^ Take the time to run a bead of electricians tape around the universal joint and socket, especially if the plastic hole cover is MIA. Also stuff a rag into the hole. You do not want the socket and/or universal joint falling into the tranny. It's not fun retrieving it. Not at all.

Oddmodman Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I just replaced the CPS on my Cherokee the other day. With a ujoint and assorted extensions it was quite easy. Took about 15 mins to replace. A pain, yes, but quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toid Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Aggravating as a baby monkey on crack for the first 45 mins. I did not have 3' worth of extensions to work with. Had me wanting to cuss. Once I got the bright idea of using the socket swivel (universal joint), the remaining 10 minutes had me wanting to cuss about not figuring out to use the swivel before then. Rev.

cruiser54 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 That's progress, isn't it? It's called a "walk" for a reason, eh Reverend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser54 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Yes sir, Cruiser... You speak wisdom. May be the flick of a switch, but it's a "walk" from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
