Camshaft CEl causing jeep to go into limp mode
Alright im back again with even more issues with my jeep, just randomly driving down the highway I got a check engine light ( nothing new ) then I got my traction control light which killed the power to the jeep aka limp mode kinda, I could still get up to highway speed but I was floored the whole time and the jeep wouldn't down gear, It also has a vibration through the steering wheel even while parked that I can feel. So I pulled over and got these check engine light:
P0394 CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR INTERMITTENT - BANK 2 SENSOR 2
P0016 Crankshaft-Camshaft Timing Misalignment Bank 1 Sensor 1
P0390 Camshaft Position Sensor B Circuit (Bank 2)
P0300[TABLE="width: 100%"]

[/TABLE]
P2638 Torque Management Feedback Signal 'A' Range/Performance
from my side of the road diagnosis and searching it sounds like a broken wire somewhere? Any help would be appreciated

I'm getting some similar ones. Taking it to the dealership tomorrow to get it checked out. Have already tried cleaning the cam sensor. Happens when the engine is under a bit of load. Trips up going uphill at highway speeds and sometimes throws me into limp mode.

I had similar issues...everytime i roll the gas on it would fall on its face and go to limp mode. I changed Throttle Body, cam sensors, cam solenoids and map sensor and air filter. Worried dealer wouldnt touch it and i was stumped, i finally noticed the under hood pad was very wrinkled at the airbox location. Sure enough the stock airbox was sucking the pad down and cutting off my air supply. So after a quick trim all my no power issues were gone. The before pic is after i pulled the pushpin and noticed the hole was slotted and pad was shifting just enough without pulling it out completely from pushpin and blocking my air box on a medium to hard acceleration. I couldnt even drive around slow traffic on 4 lane roads, as it would fall on its face into limp mode.

It could still be air induction related. Try disconnecting the intake from the snorkel to eliminate the possibility of it being the intake.
Did the problem started soon after the snorkel was installed?
