it’s now 3pm….. lol no, I was not doing this the whole time. My dad and I
got the sensor replaced in about an hour and a half, but we also we’re
taking out the radiator. Also, my bolt on the sensor was an 11
gonna go try this! it’s 9:45am
I finally figured out an easy way to do it. By removing the air intake
assembly, it opened up the space needed to get to the sensor from above. I
put a stepstool along the driver’s side fender, stood on it and was able to
reach down from above & behind the engine to install the sensor in the
proper position. then, back inside, I was able to reinstall the bolt
through the hole in the floor board by using a couple of extensions and a
u-joint on my socket wrench – it went in easily.
So getting the trim panels and coverplate off and removing the bolt took
like 15 min. or less. Removing the sensor maybe 15 minutes. What you fail
to show is how to get the new sensor inserted properly so the bolt holes
line up, etc. – I struggled with that for a couple hours yesterday, and am
about to go give it another try – it’s a MAJOR pain in the butt!
lying under the car with an arm up and around the crankshaft, you should be
able to drop the sensor down in the hole in the crankshaft. If someone can
thread the bolt and tighten it down from inside the car while you help
align the bolt from underneath the car, it will go a long way. Definitely
worth the effort as opposed to the cost of paying someone to do it.
what is your estimated time to do this job….looks like an all day thing.
.What was the code given when you decided to do this, and is it in the same
place as the 4.0 6 cyl?
I just changed mine for the first time. It took me just under 3 hours to
do. This helped out a lot. Thanks for the video.The code is p0320.
Having done it once, I could probably get it done in an hour or less. It
really shouldn’t take you longer than two unless you can’t get the bolt
thread correctly. There was no code involved. I recognized the symptoms:
lurching on the highway especially uphill. On occasion, the car won’t start
and it’s NOT the battery but feels like it is. Once, the car even shut off
on me sitting in traffic and I had to get a tow. Frustrating problem but a
common one with the Jeeps.
