I know this is an old video and will make a couple of comments, better late than never. That electronic pickup is called a cam position sensor, all it does it tell the ECU what cycle the engine is on, intake or exhaust. It is for startup only, you can unplug that unit and drive the vehicle all day long & it will continue to run just fine. But shut it off & it will not start until you plug it back in. Been there & experimented with it. On the harmonic balancer timing mark: Don't always assume that the mark is accurate, The outer ring is attached to the inner hub by rubber (vulcanized) and can slip, especially on an older vehicle. I have fabricated a device that threads into the #1 spark plug hole so that I can check piston position & check the timing mark. I have rebuilt all versions of the Magnum engines, 3.9, 5.2 & 5.9 and what you did is fairly common. A bigger problem arrives when you have to get the oil pump drive installed correctly on a rebuilt engine. The oil pump drive is what the distributor attaches to by way of the little tang on the dist shaft. The dist will only install one of 2 ways. However, the oil pump drive can install in one of several ways. Not going to get into that, complicated but a good FSM will explain (refer to a manual on the LA small block, works with the Magnum engines as well). The position of the dist on that Jeep is difficult. I had a 98 Ram 1500 pick-em-up and it was difficult to change but not as difficult as that Jeep. All I had to do was change the pick up, did it in a Captain D's parking lot. Wait till you have to change the crankshaft ignition trigger, lots of fun. Good video, explains all the basics.

jix177 In my case this distributor tool was for an older car that I sold for scrap and my Jeep is the only vehicle I have left with a distributor so I figured not harm in moding the tool. It could still be used on cars so long as you have the wrench handle really. This is not as drastic as a sink I put in a few weeks ago where I had to use my Oxygen-Acetylene torch to bend a long needle noise pliers to fit up behind the sink and clamp on the faucet nuts. There is a special too just for this job, which I have, but it wouldn't fit our custom counter-top / sink install and we had to get the fanciest faucets you know.

You may have just solved a 5 year mystery on my 89 dakota... I narrowed the issue down to either the intake manifold gasket(s) / o2 sensor / S.M.E.C(computer) OR the T.B.T throttle body temp sensor.. I've replaced and tried multiple S.M.E.C units.. not the issue.. o2 is functioning properly, and the intake manifold gaskets may still potentially leak, however the idling/running issue I'm having is like a light switch.. Its either not running right, or its running flawlessly.. So that should eliminate the intake gaskets. LEAVING a mystery... because my very sepecific truck, the 1988-89 Dakota 3.9L Fuel injected v6 does NOT have a T.B.T sensor... It took some digging and experts to finally clue me in that it doesn't exist for this engine in this truck only. so... I ask myself what could be throwing off the fuel/air ratio intermittently? sometimes it runs flawlessly sometimes it wont run at all, sometimes you need to keep it above 2,000 rpms... sometimes it will idle for 8 hours straight better than a new car.. ?? hmm.. Then I see this video, and realize I have the exact same distributor (except for a 6 not an 8) and I also vaguely remember 10 years ago when I bought this truck it didn't have this problem.. a couple years in it stopped running completely, and my mechanic at the time replaced the distributor with a (cheap) option. The truck had a bad MAP/Throttle position/and IDLE speed control valve at the time as well that masked the problem... until later on I replaced every single thing on the entire truck... except the distributor.. and this video just made me realize. ITS THE GOD DAM DISTRIBUTOR. Gonna order one in the morning, if that solves the issue I'm gonna kick myself in the ass.

@@robsteele2427 lol no.. I do still have the old bastard though at 450,000 miles, truck runs the exact same it did before swapping the distributor. My final consensus is that its a fuel issue, not an ignition issue. Thus I'm going to just delete the fuel injection entirely, by-passing the in tank fuel pump with a low pressure in line fuel pump then swapping the throttle body injection unit with a two barrel carburetor, I wanted to avoid this because Chrysler themselves said in 1987 that the strange layout of the 3.9L v6's intake manifold routing caused a poor mixture of fuel to 2 of the cylinders (being that the heads are cut down 360 v8 heads, so the left bank had the front cylinder cut off and the right bank had the rear cylinder cut off the heads, meaning the intake manifold goes 2 forward then 1 rear on the left, and 2 rear and 1 forward on the right..) so their solution in 1988 was to use a throttle body injection system to atomize the fuel and get a better ratio to all 6 cylinders. So, I dont want to.. But I'm afraid its the only way to get the old truck to run year round without issues, other than just swap the engine.. Wich I hate to do, considering the old 450,000 mile engine runs flawlessly when it does run, no smoke no burning of anything.

@@gittyupalice96 Alright, thanks. Was asking because I am currently stumped with my 91 ramcharger (318) and I was just curious if your distributor made a difference for you. On my side of things I don't think it could possibly be fuel related - I've put in a new pump, new lines, new injectors (tbi)and obviously a new filter. I've replaced o2, tps, map sensors. Also cleaned all existing grounds, and added 4 new grounds. No luck. Fires right up, idles perfectly, but the moment I touch the throttle it sputters and tries to die. I'm leaning towards either an ignition issue, or maybe timing - either the chain itself, or maybe the computer is dying and not sending spark signal correctly. Been slamming my head into the wall over this for 3 weeks now.

On OBD1s, you can access flash codes by turning the ignition key on/off/on and count the flashing check engine light on the cluster. No need for a scanner. Code 55 = no codes/end of sequence (2 sets of 5 flashes). This procedure works on my 94 Grand Cherokee 5.2.

That sensor is leaking badly now, and pretending to be a rear main seal leak. It almost fooled me until my oil pressure gauge went dead in the red. I'm confirming tomorrow by taking the doghouse off in my van. And looking straight at my distributor & OP Sensor from between the two front seats.

And I don't seem to have to work on the modern cars as much as I did with the 1970's and 1980's cars of the past, so I think car design has got better even though all the plastic parts are crap and fail all the time.

+Chuck Lamp It most likely is your crank sensor. But other ideas would be the PCM. You can get the crank sensor from any parts store or dealer but if it turn out to be the PCM you need to get the exact number off it and type it into eBay and hope somebody saved an exact matching numbered PCM.

Why does it have to be the same number? Cant any computer from that model be flashed? I only ask cause i'm dealing with a stalling problem and i'v replaced my crank shaft position sensor and stalling is persisting. my 94 jeep grand cherokee will die suddenly while driving and usually start right back up but sometimes take a while to re start. I'm doing all my plugs wires cap and rotor tomorrow but it may be the pcm.

You might get a good cross reference from a dealer but I got mine from an eBay seller that did the cross check for me. The number must match or be known to cross work with your number because different PCM's exist to control different factory options that the Jeep can come with. If you get the wrong one the PCM will not correctly control select options or will be trying to control options you don't have. Things like AC, transmission options and other items I would only be guessing at.

Really enjoyed this video. I subscribe for the electronics stuff but it's nice to see you demonstrating your other interests as well. I know I am interested in many, many different things so it's nice to see others are as well. Oh, and did you lose some weight?

Woodnerd Yes, I dropped about 50 lbs and plan on trying my best to keep it off. I picked the blog name "ToddFun" because I know from the beginning I wouldn't be doing just electronics and I didn't want to try to sustain multiple channels. This way I do what I think is fun and my viewers already know that is the theme. It seems to be working and I do get to share a lot and learn a lot from my viewer comments.

Not really. Uses tons of gas and the cylinder heads always crack between the valves meaning you have to replace not rebuild the heads when the they go bad.

KNOW THIS 3 YRS OLD BUT WHEN U IGNORANT ONLY WAY TO LEARN IS READ, TRY TO FIGURE IT OUT SOME HOW & THEN THERE'S JUSY SIMPLY ASKING. SO I ASK YOU HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO LINE UP THE ROTOR WITH THE MARK? I REPLACED CAP & ROTOR BOUT A YEAR AGO ON MY 96 SAME ENGINE.

Well, if nothing moved inside the engine and old distributor came out fine and the new one went in the same exact point then you are fine. If things moved or you din't know if things were right you would have to line everything up correctly.
