Ok, latest update. We reset the PCM and sucked seafoam into manifold hose and put rest in gas tank. Seems to be running great now. Had a mechanic check it out when it was still running bad and he couldn't find anything wrong with it. Time will tell if it stays running good. Kj

On, good to know. Definitely don't need more problems or rain! Lol Kj

definitely great when they're running properly. yeah, will probably give it a rest for a bit and just drive it with the scanner plugged in so it runs right. i'm sure it's something we've overlooked and maybe after a break from it, it will jump out at us.

Oh man, really hoping it's not a wiring issue. Not sure how much more money we are willing to put into it. Cash is dwindling fast! Kj

Also, not sure if chain was ever replaced. Hubby is getting pretty tired of working on it tho. Lol Kj

The chain kit wasn't too bad but the tensioner was almost $60 plus whatever gaskets and somebody else would have to put it in. I guess I'll just leave scanner plugged in and it'll be fine. Lol. Which leads me to believe it's not the chain. Soooo confused! Kj

Not sure that we would even wanna replace timing chain. So expensive for all the components. We will do some more testing in the next few days. The guys might be able to do it while I'm making tamales with my mom tomorrow. Lol. Will update As things progress. Kj

Someone told me the scanner being plugged in is putting it into an open loop and making it run normally. Don't know if that would have anything to do with timing chain but that's what code is saying. Appreciate your dedication, it means a lot. Kj

Well, disappointed again! Drove it about 20 miles away and it's doing it again. Ugghhh. On the way home, the p1391 CPS code came on again. But it's weird, if I leave my scanner plugged in while driving, the jeep runs perfectly. Don't know what is going on. Kj

Ok, looks like we got it! Replaced the CPS and didn't make a difference except it stopped throwing a code. Put a new downstream o2 sensor in and it runs perfectly now!! Let's just hope it stays that way. Will be replacing upstream o2 sensor soon. Thanks for all the help. So happy to have my girl...

We used to have a k5 too and loved it! That sync signal is part if the switch plate in the distributor? When I looked it up, it showed that anyway, but was calling the switch plate a CPS. If that's the case, it was already replaced. Still waiting for someone to fix it. Gahhh! Getting anxious...

Lmao! To be fair, my first rig at 16 was an 84 Toyota 4x4 SR5. I used to 4x and mud the hell outta that truck! Lol. I was the only chick out there at 16 with a bunch of old dudes. Haha. My dad used to get so mad! Kj

hahaha, for sure! i sold my mustang and bought the jeep. i liked the stang but i love the jeep!!:driving:

Haha, most definitely yes! Kj
