[QUOTE="deadpool1, post: 439620, member: 21229"] no, not saying not necessary just unplug it, see if it pings if does, go High Octane fuel, or try to retard spark. (at the DIZZY) this year car know the new sensor can even hear bad HDA or BAD Lifter racket, to there is that pain, cured in 1991.with TBI or MPI. there are no sensors sold now.zero. (www endless searches, none) 4.0L yes not yours. so is moot point right lacking one ,try running it missing. the PING happens if engine is lugged, (using wrong higher# gear than should be (is this manual trans M/T)>? first things first did you examine all wires to the C2BBD CARB AND SEE IF ALL MAKE IT TO THE PUTER, UN DAMAGED, (NOT CUT WIRES/)? THAT BE FIRST. VAST JEEPS 4.2 HAVE BEEN HACKED NOW. looking first is what is done,. the dizzy (distrib) FSM pages, on timing dizzy 4.2 chapter 8D page 49 covers it if engine pings. lower the static time say 2 degrees and then see if PING ends, (if happens at all) it even states in the FSM to ground out the KS sensor,so static time can be, set, and vacuum advance defeated. did you miss the free book in the sticky here/ PDF for free /89/90 do not read pages before 8D-29 those are for MPI/TBI engines NOT YOUR,your car is model code 80/81 wrankler, ignore all non Wrangler pages. the cars hood sticker (under it look up) see EPA tag ,shows spec, static advance. in degree's. [URL unfurl="true"]https://wrangleryjforum.com/threads/jeep-wrangler-yj-factory-service-manuals-fsm-and-part-catalogs.27000/[/URL] there is no CKP sensor on this car, nor to the engine computer. at all] the dizzy does it all (and tiny bit via ECU.,, this distrib is set at 1600 RPM for hood sicker spec, label RPM with a tool called a timing light. vacuum adv. pulled and plugged hose. page 38 below, [ATTACH type="full"]121875[/ATTACH] the rumor is the KS sensor can retard spark 15 degrees. and is not covered in the FSM. so is unknown. it's purpose is to run REGULAR gasoline the cheap stuff. a car this old gee, i'd have already tested the vacuum advance by hand vac,pump and the centrifugal too. they love to rust up and jam and MPG goes to HORRID. that is about all.(the book covers all tests just told) [/QUOTE]
