Several years ago I bought a 1994 Montero SR that had some issues passing emissions in Arizona with about 150k miles on it. I replaced the Valve Stem Seals, replaced the timing gear, spark plugs, plug wires and pretty much anything else that was on the maintenance schedule for >90k miles. I was able to get it to pass emissions and used it as my daily driver for several months without any issues.
That is until I tried to drive it across country to NC, whereupon it died about halfway and left me stuck on the side of I-40. A buddy towed it back to his house and it sat there for several years before I finally just recently had it sent to me in NC to try again.
Symptoms are that it dies when it gets warm, especially if it's under load. Generally it will run for about 15-20 minutes until it starts to misfire so bad that it won't stay running. Since I have EvoScan I was able to pull off a bunch of data on my last test run and most importantly got the diagnostic codes when the check engine light finally came on and it wouldn't run any more. Those codes were code 22 (crankshaft position sensor) and code 23 (camshaft position sensor).
It seems a little bit odd that both the crankshaft and the camshaft position sensor would throw codes at the same time, so I was hoping to see if anyone here had any ideas on how to best troubleshoot and isolate my issue because I'd really like to get this truck out of my yard and onto a trail. I've already put more in parts into this thing than I paid for it and I'd prefer not to continue throwing money at it blindly.
