'95 XJ won't start

[bajaboy]

Hey Jeep Guys,

I have a 95 Cherokee that has had trouble starting, it turns a few times and then fire. Finally today it just won't start at all, There is power, lights,power windows,radio all work strongly. I was told that a commomn problem in Jeeps is the Crank Position Sensor or Camshaft position Sensor, could this be it?? Any other possible problems before I go get one of these sensors.

Thanks!

dido. the sensor is located where the tranny and engine meet. right ontop the tranny. two bolts and a pigtail and you are done. i believe the dealer was about $100 or so. good luck
