TAMKKEN 56027865AB PC169 5S1717 56027867AB 56041819AA Crankshaft Position Sensor Fit for Jeep Wrangler TJ Cherokee Dodge Dakota 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004

I have been having an electrical issue with a crank no start for 2 months and have wired in a whole new asd relay in the meantime (as I thought this was the issue). After doing lots of research the cps kept coming up as a common issue.Everyone said that you need to buy oem but they were $150 and they had like 5 left in the country. I thought I would try this little $20 sensor with decent reviews and my jeep started right up! I will be buying a second as a spare and I highly reccomend you do the same as you never know how long this will last and these jeeps are picky about these sensors.Installing it was fairly easy and I highly highly reccomend you drop the transmission crossmember. All you need it a jack and to remove the 4 bolts on sides. This allows you to drop the transmission a few inches allowing you to get the socket in better and I could reach up there with my hand. I used 2 long extensions, a swivel (please please please just buy a 3/8 swivel, it will save you loads of time on this job and other jobs), and a 7/16 12 point head (easier to get on the bolts, not recfomended if you live in a rusty area).Overall satisfied and I hope to update this for everyone else looking.

Working great on my 99 TJ.

DO NOT BUY!! The quality of these parts are terrible. This is one of those things you should 100% replace with OEM or another quality aftermarket brand. I had a couple generic evap codes on a Jeep TJ and started with this part at the recommendation of my retired mechanic friend. Nothing changed but I started getting more evap codes as time went on. I eventually replaced hundreds of dollars in parts, including a full tune up, but the problem wouldn’t go away. I finally dumped it off at a mechanic and they found it was this same part that was bad. An OEM replacement was $78. The repair bill was $500. Stay away from this chineesium junk.

Fit perfectly on my 2003 Jeep 4.0L manual 5 speed. Easy install with ratchet, long extentions and universal joint

I know you’re supposed to buy the oem CPS but, for the price, it’s worth a shot. This has lasted me about a month so far without issue. Fingers crossed.

Only time will tell. Based on other reviews, I keep a spare. I will give regular updates so really see the longevity.

13 months ago my XJ was running well one day and the next wouldn't start - just cranked and cranked. No codes.I heard you should only use OEM CPS sensors for these but couldn't afford the $150. So I took a chance and bought this one.After cobbling together a 7/16 socket onto a wobble adapter at the end of an 18" extension in order to get to the two bolts, I was able to swap out the old and install this one.I got in, turned the key and vroom! Started right up and has been running great (on 13 month old gas, no less!) for the last three days.So relieved this sensor worked, and at such a great price point. I'll probably buy another as a spare.dw
