[QUOTE="Cold Steel 106, post: 450219, member: 23882"] Another update. I received the new pigtails and finally got around to installing them. I cleared all the codes and went for a drive. I am no longer in limp mode and can now go over 3500 rpm. I got rid of all the codes but one which is P0305. I also picked up a new code which is P000C. One thing I will mention is, when this all started I picked up cam sensors from AutoZone. Throughout all my research I came across one common comment. Do NOT buy aftermarket sensors cause they cause nothing but problems. Unfortunately I came across this info after I bought mine. Since replacing the pigtail got rid of the codes, that leads me to believe the sensors weren’t bad to begin with. Luckily I kept my originals and will install them tomorrow. I have a good feeling this will clear the codes I have left. A few notes for anyone going through this. Check your cam sensor seals and replace them if you deem necessary. I had fresh oil all over the seals and the sensors. I’ve always had to keep an eye on my oil which I thought the engine was consuming. I found an oil leak on the lower oil pan and changed the gasket. I thought I solved the issue but I still was losing oil. I’m pretty sure the cam sensor seal is the culprit because both sides felt dry rotted and show cracks.

If these fail again, it won’t be from the tight wire tolerances Jeep screwed up on. I’ll get rid of these codes eventually. 😂 [/QUOTE]
