The problem: The engine Idles fine however while under load (accelerating) the check engine light flashes and eventually the engine sputters out as if it were only firing on 2 cylinders and was horribly out of timing. Almost a complete loss of power and usually happens over 55 MPH and above 3000 RPM. When I turn the engine off while moving and then back on, the problem goes away for about a minute and then comes back. Its all intermitent though, sometimes it runs like a dream.
List of Codes: P0340, P1490, P1489, P0300, P030X-1,2,3,4,5,6, and P1391
What I've done: replaced...
-Spark plugs (copper core Champions)
-Ignition coil
-All 4 O2 sensors (Denso)
-Fuel Pump (Delphi - It could be bad, I can hear it come on and there is a mostly constant high pitched humming coming from it. I only replaced it because I was having some starting issues and a mechanic said I had low fuel pressure. The starting problem was solved.)
-Fuel Filter (Fram)
-Camshaft Position Sensor and Synchronizer (Duralast - It was professionally installed but I am not confident in their work because that P0340 code came back a while after they replaced it.)
-Check for vacuum leaks and I found none. Missed one perhaps?
Any help you guys could give me would be awesome. I'm out of ideas unless the mechanic didn't do the CPS right. I've thought about the Crankshaft PS but I thought that really only affected the idling. I've also thought maybe the PCM since it works for about a minute after restarting the Jeep. But let me know what you guys think.
