Back story,
I bought an 06 Rubicon 6spd from a local with a misfire issue for a reasonable price. I'm no stranger to jeeps or the 4.0 engine either. 200k miles, look to be all road miles, PO was surprised on the test drive when I got the diff lock lights to come on...
This condition exists weather the engine is cold, and at operating temp.
Let's list the codes...
P0172
System too rich Bank 1
P0300
Random/multiple cylinder misfire detected
P0302
Cylinder 2 misfire detected
OPDA was pulled and inspected, was a cheap replacement, dated to 2014 with zero very little wear. It was replaced with a crown unit regardless, the CPS is also crown, as I could not source the mopar version.
The fuel injectors are all new flow matched set, I placed a fuel pressure gage in line with the fuel rail holding steady at 59 to 60 psi while running, maybe a 15 min leak down or so, not exact.
New coil rail mfg by Delphi, changed all the sparkplug to the iridium recommended on the forums here. (It did this with the copper plugs as well)
Intake cleaner, removed the TB and thoroughly cleaned,
replaced both PCV valves,
crank position sensor,
Air charge? (One on the intake tube)
PO also changed all the 02 sensors, and looks to be waterpump, idler pulley,and radiator.
At this point I am suspecting the injection wiring to cyl 2
Valvetrain issue on cyl 2
Possible cat problems
Or the notorious pcm failure.
Let's hear what the community has for me, testing procedures, thoughts, solutions.
