Come along with Eric O. at SMA as he has a look at this 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the I6 4.0 that was towed in with a crank, no start condition. It didn't take long to figure out this common problem and solve the infamous P0320 crank sensor code.

    I've got a wrangler down rite now with the same issue but I took the sensor out and tested it and it read good I guess it my cam sensor

    I doubt you'll reply but. My battery died 2 days ago when it was at least -27ยฐc (-16.6ยฐf) and its cranking and sounds like it's trying to fire but it just won't fire up, it's getting lots of gas and it should be getting spart (I'd check if there wasn't almost a foot of snow on the ground and more falling) what could be the problem now. It's a 1998 jeep grand cherokee limited 4.0L

    My 99 cherokee had the cam sensor quit right in front of a local shop. The dude wasnt sure if it was a cam or crank sensor, it never threw a code, just no voltage at all from cam sensor. Gonna have him do it Tuesday I guess, To get it home I reset the computer. pulled neg cable for a few minutes put it back on and it fired right up.

    Hey bud good afternoon so I have a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and it's doing the exact same thing cranks but no start it was running when we parked it for a while this is what we got so I turn the key three times and I got the same code you did p0320 so would it be safe to say to go ahead and purchase and replace the crank sensor I'm kind of broke so I can't afford to be buying all kinds of parts just looking for your opinion thank you

    Come on Mr. O. Your pretty down on BWD. They're not broken when delivered, they break 2-3 days after the warranty expires.

    i have a 97 tj wrangler that has a crank but no start issue,i have 5 volts going to coil and cam sensor under the distibutor, but i have no spark and my fuel pump keeps running, with the key on and cranking over the pump should stop right ???, thi king it might be the crank sensor,ill do the v test and see what that brings me, would a bad crank sensor cause the fuel pump to keep running??.

    The other guys are not as good to watch and listen to my wife said you sound a lot like me with the junk parts not fitting or you have to custom fit the parts

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars alsteven44 says:

    Forexample if the FP, FP relay, ASD relay are good & it will not start chances are this ck sensor is bad

    What if I got no code, but it does the same thing

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Anthony W. says:

    had a 1994 jeep GC and i kept a spare cps in the glove box i used to lower the transmission cross member just before the bolts come out and then you can get the cps out much easier, first time i went to change it i though my goodness this thing is so long it was hitting the floorboard and no way to get it out so i thought about a sledge hammer and a blunt punch to make an indent but there was a line in the way then i figured out to loosen the bolts on the transmission cross member to get just enough room for it to slide out, poor design for a part that is a common problem in jeeps. i owned that jeep long enough i was a pro at changing them out.

    Its the wires from the pcm crank starter oil coils fuel pump gages and fuel injectors are all connected to the same wire move it around the whole thing in sections you will hear fuel pump.and a click look at you gages all well place key dont crank to the gauges come back three times then crank should start on you make the to replace some wires may be bent and put wrapping. With anti flammable material and tie off in place.
