It starts no bother and drives fine but if stopped before
fully warm it has problems restarting then when it goes
everything seems alright but it feels like it only has
about 20 horse power.
Man with diagnostics coming to look at it tomorrow [:Black

For what it's worth, it's always good to get both cam sensors replaced, as one usually fails soon after the other, Davy will probabaly tell you that anyway I would imagine.

items 5 & 18

No problem Sandy, although I was guessing at your year, etc, those are for a 2.8 which you have, but it's worth putting your chassis number in to realoem to make sure you get the correct part numbers in case there were any updates etc.

Vilan passed me end of last week and I do believe CPS was working fine as you were traveling a a fair rake on knots.

Was in jeep flashe lights at you but I think the speed of light was to slow to catch you
