That might be my next best purchase. I’ve been having trouble with my 98 with a 2.5
I had a post on here about cam and crank sensor issue. Then I had to repair an exhaust leak and remove a squeal with the belt so I could work on
The fact this jeep has been running worse the longer I own it.
To get you up to speed. I have reconnected ground cables, changed the oil pressure sensor, starter, throttle body sensor, cam sensor, crank sensor, plugs, wires, cap and rotor.
No matter what I do or change it seems to fix the running on this jeep, then the next time I start it the engine light comes on, and it runs like crap again.
Each time it had a different code and I changed that sensor.
Last night I put the old cam sensor back in because I honestly could not get this engine to run correctly, it ran smooth…….. for a little while, then started sputtering again and died.
Ding ding ding engine light comes on and this time is was p0505 automatic idle speed or IAC. So I tried cleaning that with throttle body cleaner. Cleared the code, started the jeep, ran good for a while……. Then sputtered until it died.
This time when starting it back up, it wouldn’t fire, found we had no spark at the coil wire. Oddly enough my gut was telling me computer issue. So I un plugged the 3 fat cables from the computer, cleaned them, plugged them back in and the Jeep started. Ran good again …… until it didn’t and died. Tried starting again and no spark.
This is the point where I drive home and envisioned stopping at the gas station
Fast forward to tonight, I seat the jeep and wouldn’t you know it starts…… runs fantastic…… until it sputters and died again.
Engine light on and this time ISA and crank sensor. It’s like this jeep has a ghost in it. Now where did I put that match……………
Can ANYONE shed some light on the insanity that I have going on. I’m leaning to a PCM issue, however I truly need help.
