2003 Jeep 4.6 Stroker with 42RLE
Old 4.0l died of piston slap. I built a Titan Engines 4.6L and swapped it in did cam break in etc. All seemed to go ok however I'm having a couple issues I can't seem to figure out.
Idles and Drives okay. However it hunts for idle after coming to a stop sometimes after cruising. It was stalling out prior to a new battery. Now it doesn't stall just sometimes misses idle when coming to a stop and drops to 250rpm or so then hunts for correct idle until it finds it a couple seconds later.
I also noticed when its idling if I blip the throttle the rpms drop until it "catches up". It is like a hesitation reading the tps or something, I am not sure how else to explain it. I could post a video of that If I need to.
The last issues I am having with it is that it will not shift if I go WOT from a standstill. Almost like it doesn't ever reach the proper inputs to shift when it should have already. If I am driving already it will upshift fine at WOT.
I am hoping to figure out these issues. I feel like I am so close to getting this thing running mint but feel so far away at the same time.
So far I have done the following:
Replaced Crank Sensor (it was cracked when putting the engine back in) - Mopar
Replaced TPS - Mopar
Cleaned IAC (Didn't Help)
Cleaned ThrottleBody
Replaced IAC - Mopar
Replaced Bad Battery - Was dropping to 6V when under load
Cleaned grounds
Upgraded to BIG 7 2GA Kit from Jeepcables.com
Upgraded injectors to Bosch 0280155784 to bring fuel trims into spec (+3-5 now)
