    Low Speed Cutting Out

    I have a 97 TJ that I recently bought back in November. Since I have owned it I have put new plugs, distributor, rotor, and wires. I have pulled the throttle body and completely and thoroughly cleaned the throttle body. I first cleaned the IAC and that seemed to be the one thing that helped...

    2000 TJ 4.0 with no catalytic converter showing P0455 check engine light code

    I just purchased a 2000 4.0 TJ that had its catayltic converter and muffler stolen. The previous owner added a glass pack muffler and did not replace the catalytic converter. One CEL code (P0455) is showing when I scan. I replaced the gas cap since the oring was very cracked and the CEL is...

    Possible catalytic converter issue

    First time Jeeper, 98 TJ Sahara 4.0, feels like it’s starving for fuel, almost wants to die out when it starts. Thought it was bad gas, but now I’m thinking it’s catalytic converter. Has high miles, I’m learning here, but I’m thinking that’s what the issue is possibly being plugged up? Maybe the...

    Sanity check before I drop some money

    In December I experienced a flashing check engine light while driving. I replaced all 4 O2 sensors and those seemed to smooth everything out. That thread: https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/check-engine-light-flashed-while-driving.67087/ Since then I've experienced two instances of hesitation...

    How close can you put a single catalytic converter to the header?

    On earlier TJs with the single catalytic converter, is there any problem with putting the cat closer upstream from the stock location? Stock it is way back there between the transfer case and transmission. I've been running mine about 12-18" further forward for clearance without any issues, but...

    2006 catalytic converters not the same?

    I’m replacing my exhaust headers on a 2006 TJ Rubicon 4.0 and the catalytic converters don’t look right (though I’ve never looked at a dual cat before). The rear bank looks fine with a nice looking honeycomb. The front bank appears to be missing the honeycomb though the sides look consistent and...

    Hello to my fellow Jeepers! I have a 2005 stock Rubicon auto with about 149k miles on it. I need some insight on some problems I have been having lately. The following may or may not be all connected. Alright so last summer I had about 140k miles or so and the spark plugs had never been...

    Thoughts on exhaust noise

    So as a young guy who likes to be loud and party I decided it’s a good idea to get an exhaust system. I’ve decided to get me headers, cut the cats off, and then I still have no clue if I want to cherry bomb it and have the tip end off to the side or if I want to get either a muffler/ resonator...

    P0420 code and check engine light

    I will try to make this short and sweet. Last week I filled up my 2000 Jeep TJ and minutes later the check engine light came on. The code that came back was P0420 Bank 1. The check engine light remained on all week until I got gas today and, boom, the check engine light is gone. I ran my OBD...

    Questions about renewing complete exhaust system on 2003 TJ

    As noted in the title, I think my cats have reached EOL. I think this Jeep lived most of its life in Oklahoma, the chassis was/is pretty clean with little or no rust when we bought it 2 years ago with 103k miles. No CEL’s being thrown, no odd sounds coming from the exhaust system. But it seems...

    Power loss (no codes)

    Aloha, My new to me 2005 Jeep LJ had some power loss issues going up hill and at highway speeds the other day. After reading through the various posts regarding my symptoms I concluded a clogged CAT. I did a temp test on all 3 CATs and the rear had a temp drop that was pretty clear. I removed...
