Help please: '06 4.0 L Jeep Camshaft Postition Sensor

Hi folks - I'm desperate here.....

I need to find / buy / rent / borrow / etc a *working* Camshaft Position Sensor (CPS) from a 2005 or 2006 4.0 L. (possibly from ANY 4.0 L Jeep)
I need it to test / troubleshoot a problem with my daily driver.
I'm in Ottawa, and need it asap as I need the Jeep up and running by this weekend to keep peace in the family.
e-mail: colin.campbell@bell.ca

I'm driving a 2006 Rubicon Unlimited 4.0 L, 6-speed manual...

How about p/n# CSS1159 from Napa?

I'd be concentrating on that MAP Sensor code that won't clear. IIRC, I think that era of Chrysler ECM's used a computer calculated barometric pressure and only used the actual sensor to double check it's calculations. You can double check that by unplugging the MAP and starting the Jeep. If it starts I'm right if it doesn't I'm FOS.
Next unplug the ECM and triple check resistance to the MAP connector on all three wires, and between all three.
If all as close to 0.0 ohms as possible I think you may be looking at an ECM.......

Thanks Trixter and Junkpile!
- NAPA part is out-of-stock in EVERY warehouse across Canada... Sources back through wholesaler Bluestreak, and I get consistent story from all Bluestreak distributors that it is unavailable in N. America.
- UPDATE: (see edits to post above), Southbank Dodge thinks they may be able to get one from Toronto, $67. I'm not holding my breath; other dealers could NOT source anywhere in Canada.
- I'll do the MAP check again, along with other disconnect-&-test through other sensors. Drives me nuts that speedo is dead, even with new VSS.

THANKS FOR READING (incl all the details...) and the fast help. Hopefully I can return the favor to someone somehow!

You should either have a shop look at it or get a better scan tool. There are many more issues that can cause the running issue. Codes only give you a place to start, then you have to check things with lab scopes and check sync between different sensors.
