Okay, I couldn't get to the crankshaft sensor because I've got to jack up the jeep, but I checked the camshaft sensor at the front of the block and it read 4.35 volts on pins 1 and 3, grounded to Pin 2 and then to the chassis. It'll be Thursday evening before I can check the crankshaft sensor.

Actually got a chance to check the crankshaft sensor yesterday. Both the crankshaft and camshaft sensors are getting 4.35 volts each with ignition key on.

You checked it exactly as I suggested? You have 2 powers? Did you check using the body ground as well as the ground for the harness?

Suggestion on best way to remove sensor. The bolt is behind the sensor and the exhaust pipe limits access.

It is tight. Use a wrench and when you get the bolt out, twist the sensor to release the o-ring and then pull it out.

Okay, attempted to remove the crankshaft sensor, wouldn't budge, so I soaked it down with penetrating oil overnight, still would not budge, started tapping it, still no budge, then tapped harder and head broke off. I Googled the situation and seems it's common for them to be seized in by rust. Some recommend chipping it out piece by piece. What do you recommend? By the way the camshaft sensor came out very easily.

Okay, why did you replace the cam sensor? We or I did not recommend that.

Yes, you will need to chip it out. Once you get down to the seal, it will free up and come out.

Thought since while I was at it (Cam), I'd install a new one, $25.00. Okay, I'll chip away at the Crankshaft sensor this evening.
