2005 Jeep LJ I've been chasing the ever popular P0344 for a while now and am getting pretty frustrated. So far I have: Replaced the camshaft sensor twice, with 2 different brands of sensors. Installed a new battery. Installed a new PCM from Wranglerfix. Any ideas where to go next with this...

Anyone have experience with the Titan Stroker engine? https://titanengines.com/products/jeep-strokers-titan-high-performance-jeep-stroker-engine-4-6-4-7 Looking at it versus their regular HO version. https://titanengines.com/products/titan-high-output-jeep-4-0-engine Although the extra power...

In the market for a new steering gear box. I had replaced my stock one, which failed shortly after I bought the Jeep with a Borgeson. It lasted 5 years and about 15K miles before it become a paper weight. Have been looking at the one from Red Head which is about $530 and the one from Detroit...

So today I had a slew of error codes pop up on my 2005 LJ. P0129 Barometric Pressure Too Low P0700 Transmission Malfunction Present P0344 Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Inter P0340 No Camshaft Reference Signal at PCM P1775 Solenoid Switch Value in Torque Converter Clutch Position I'm...

Hi all, I purchased the Gobi Ranger roof rack for my LJ about a year ago and am just getting around to installing it now. I ended up damaging one of the small threaded rods that mounts the lower rear bracket to the uprights. I've contacted Gobi 3 times now about purchasing a new part from...

So my 2005 LJ was throwing an error for the Camshaft Position Sensor with a check engine light. I replaced the sensor with a brand that didn't work, so I then replaced it again with the NAPA branded one. Worked great for about 100 - 125 miles, and then today the check engine light came back...

I'm throwing in the towel here, I'll just have to bring it to my shop and have them do it. 3 rounds of PB Blaster and pulling on it with every tool I have and it won't budge. I think it's just too corroded for my skill / strength level.

Mine does look different than that, mine is similar to this style.

Does anyone know how the camshaft position sensor come out on a 2005 LJ? I removed the one bolt, and I've been pulling on it with my hands and pliers and it won't budge. Does it just pull straight out? Or twist? Or something else? I can't seem to find a YT video on actually getting the sensor...

Anyone have experience with the Rock Hard bumpers? How is the quality / powder coat? Looking for something with gas can holders, and they seem decent from the photos.

Got the borescope today and took a few photos using the side access holes. Definitely takes some getting used to maneuvering it around. Will remove the bumpers, clean out the frame and then redo.

They haven't come back yet, the hard start, and the RPMs dropping to almost a stall at idle is gone. So I'm hoping not.

Just wanted to close the loop on this post, it did end up being the battery and all the crud on it. Once I took care of that, all the codes disappeared. Thanks for the help.

Thanks all. I did purchase a borescope and a sewer jet, so i'll give the inside a flush and look and see where I stand. Would certainly be great to not spent $5K+ on a frame and be able to use that money for other parts instead :)

So despite knowing its a bad financial decision, I've decided to do a "restoration" on my 2005 LJ. I know I'll have way more money into it than it will ever be worth, but I'm sentimentally attached to this specific one so I don't want to just buy one in better condition. Primary reasons for the...
