It also had a crack causing an exhaust leak, so I had that fixed since they already had the Jeep and it didn't add that much to the cost of the repairs. It's finally back together and ready, so I'll be picking it up today and putting some miles on it.

I haven't figured out what the fueling problem was, but didn't really spend any time running that down yet. Getting the major issue fixed first. A couple weeks ago it had surging issues when I was taking it right down the road. It would lose all power like the fuel just stopped and then a second...

So, I didn't updated like I said I would but I have gotten my answers. Cylinder 3 had low compression. Some other tests were ran, can't remember what, and it came back having an issue with the top end. So at least better than the issue being in the bottom end and I won't need an entire engine...

Thank you, I'll take a look at that tomorrow morning and update the thread.

Welcome from the Sandhills of NC.

I've read all sorts of threads trying to figure this out, but I don't want to keep throwing money and parts if there is a better way to find the problem and fix it. 2006 Jeep Wrangler SE 6 speed manual 2.4L 98110 miles (I bought it with 95000 miles and no CEL) It drives great, but it has a...

Thanks, I'll be sure to check that. The Jeep has 98000 miles on it, so it is time to replace some of this stuff.

Following as I had a P0303 code pop on my 2006 2.4L. Brand new plugs, wires, and cap. It drove great, but had a rough idle after sitting for a few seconds. The check engine light would go on and off as well when idling. I need to buy a scanner soon as well instead of running up to Advanced Auto...

Adding myself to the list, Cameron, NC.

Thanks, I hastily ordered some stuff and realized afterwards that I didn't get MOPAR/NKT O2 sensors. So I just reordered the correct ones. Now I'm going back through the rest to make sure I ordered what I need.

Yeah, it's definitely not cheap for labor anymore. Gears are one of the few things that I'll have someone else do. If I had a buddy that new how to do them, then I would definitely take the time to learn and save the money.

Thanks everyone. I'm loving it and now the hard part is making sure that I build it for a 16 yo and not for myself. In the next couple weeks I'll be replacing most of the sensors. I started getting a rough idle after a few minutes of it sitting, but it runs great when I'm driving. Check engine...

This is really the only picture I have. I took it right after I got it home and took the mirrors off the window frame and mounted them back on the doors. Overall the Jeep is really clean, so I mostly plan to make sure it's super reliable and update a few things to make it better.

Figured that I should go ahead and introduce myself. I was lurking on the site for a while before finally making an account. I've owned 4 - TJ, 1 - JK, 1 - JKU, and 1 - JT. I really hope to get back into another JT soon, as I loved that truck. Currently I have a 2006 Wrangler SE that I bought...

$2500 for parts and labor. Most of that really is the labor since it's roughly $600-700 in parts.
