Has anyone had issues with a factory mopar replacement cam position sensor? I recently replaced my sensor with a mopar sensor, but it seems to trigger a CEL when it starts up and it's cold out. The light goes away after driving and starting and stopping a few times (i.e. started up this morning to run some errands. CEL came on. Turned it off and restarted to stop it from going into limp mode. Ran to the bank and went to a few stores, after the last stop I started it up to drive home and the CEL was off.
I have been fighting this issue for a year and a half. I replaced the opda, and things were fine until the CEL started coming on for p0344. Replaced the CPS that came with the crown sensor with the original CPS. Everything was fine for a few months until the Jeep started intermittently dying while idling. Found out the timing chain was loose. Replaced the timing chain and timing gears a month ago. My mechanic replaced the CPS with a mopar sensor when he did the timing, and now a month later the CEL is coming on (seemingly when it is cold out) and then goes off when the engine warms up and starts and stops running a few times. I am wondering if it's the sensor or something more going on with the cam shaft. Before the timing was changed the CEL came on for p0344 (that's partially why my mechanic changed the sensor). Has anyone changed the opda and then found out that the cam shaft needed to be replaced too. If so, what were the symptoms, and are they similar to what I am describing.
On a side note, this may be unrelated issues or not even issues at all, but when driving on the highway and going up hills the Jeep seems to struggle to stay at around 70mph. I have 4.88 years and 35 inch tires. Also, when I put the transmission (nsg370) in neutral and take my foot off the clutch I hear a slight knocking sound and what sounds like metal spinning and touching something else, the sound goes away when I depress the clutch pedal.
