Check engine light came on during my trip home today.

Left it running, pulled the OBDII adapter from the TJ, read the code. P0340.

Cam Position Sensor. Pretty sure I had a spare.

Stopped the engine, cleared the code. Tried restarting, wouldn't start.

Waited a few hours to let things cool down.

10350

Look closely. The metal part that lets the Cam PS know the position isn't attached any longer.

I was able to turn it and put it back in the correct position and engine starts up. STRANGE! Pretty sure this is the factory original distributor. I bought a new one but the ear that you bolt down to the block broke off.

That's crazy.. I need to get a better OBDII code reader setup.. I got just a cheap unit from the store... it works.. but takes forever to actually read the codes.. and definitely won't read while running (I've tried multiple times)... speaking of that.. need to go out when the rain stops to see why my CEL is on this time...
