As I am new to this forum and to all the new computer stuff related to Jeeps I have a general question that may have been addressed. I have a 2006 Jeep LJ with a little over 190,
000 miles. Recently I started getting engine codes and poor performance.
It started with codes for the O2 sensors, then a code for a bad cat. I did the sensors but not the cats. Then the crank and cam sensor, those were replaced. Now after reading some here, code P0303.
Prior to the code I began to loose power at freeway speeds. After some research I was told the cats may be plugged. With the loss of power I got the new P0303 code which some attributed to increased heat. Well, I do live in Phoenix and temps are well over 100 now.
With the cat isqsue would that increase the temp causing the code. When its first started it runs fine. I read about the Service Bulletin regarding a heat shield.
My remedy now was I ordered a direct fit cat system and will see if that affects it. Also I did have new plugs, coils, radiator, water pump and so on.
note: the head gasket seems to be fine, no steam in exhaust or oil in radiator.
