Here we go again with my never ending problems :cry:
After I replaced my water pump and timing belt two weeks ago and enjoying my completely new J now i got this problem. The day before yesterday I was driving on the hwy when all of the sudden the car start smoking badly and wouldn't go. What happen is the trans cooling hose that goes into the radiator got cut by the fan and my entire engine compartment was covered in pink oil :mad: And start throwing the Check Engine light form time to time. So yesterday I cleaned and washed the entire compartment, checked all the fluids and everything else seemed fine but the CEL kept coming on and off until today I couldn't start the car. I ran the self diagnostic and it trows this codes:

11 Crank Angle Sensor
13 ECT Sensor
34 Knock Sensor
35 EGR Temperature Sensor (RH)
53 EGR Temperature Sensor (LH)

As well my RPM hand is playing a little bit when driving and releasing the throttle pedal and it goes down and up a little bit (as well the engine sound does the same ). I think that the problems comes from the Crank Angle Sensor but I'm not sure where it's located.I took of one of the coils and it wasn't trowing any sparks so I sprayed some Electric part cleaner on the harness that is on the driver front side of the engine that seems to be the camshaft position sensor or at least that's what I think. And the car turned on but the CEL is still there throwing the same codes. So i don't know what to do next. Any ideas guys how to chase this down and fix it ? Thank you

So it seems to be this one http://info.rockauto.com/getimage/getim ... 600-01.jpg
And I was wrong , I sprayed the cleaner exactly on to this think. But why it went bad any ideas ?!

Clean all the connectors to the sensors that are throwing codes, See the service manual: http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/
