Ok have you checked your auto transmission fluid level ? this is a good place to start. with low fluid your trans will act all kinds a crazy. I dont know what to say about your cv joint. I hope this helps./

I had a similiar problem with my 1996 4.0l engine. I ended up opening the hood and started the engine, then started jiggling wires and wire connectors. I found a wire that was almost cut into from bending excessively. The cut was so close to the connector I had to make a jumper wire from one...

I think Misti Blue is your cure :driving:

I got lucky on this one ! I replaced the water pump and all is back to normal. On this 3.7 engine the water pump was not hard to change, just take the belt off and remove one idler pulley 15mm wench and 13 mm wrench/socket to remove the water pump. I think most people with basic mechanics...

Im kinda simple.. call it Hoopty

I had a crankshaft sensor go out on my jeep camnache pick up, took it to the repair shop several times till they got it fixed. never heard of a cam shaft sensor ? I hope they fix it for you because I know how it feels to be without your ride.

You Guys the water pump on this Liberty looks very easy to replace. I just bought one at a local parts house, it was only 48 bucks and came with the pulley already installed.. Sweet ! its built by Gates and the parts house didnt even ask me for a core. I will put it on tomorrow and I hope this...

What was I thinking ? If my Dad was still alive he would beat my a@@ for posting this before looking into the problem deeper ! I had to go Old School on this engine and used a extra long 3/8 extension and put it on different parts of the engine to find where the sound was coming from. Checked...

Thanks :shades:

My girlfriends liberty just started a knocking noise in the engine this morning. it has 137.000 miles and I have been servicing it on a regular basis, oil and filter, air cleaner. I popped the hood and started the engine and the it sounds like the knocking noise is coming from the back of the...

Thanks for the Vid ! its worth looking into . the grand has almost 300.000 miles on it and Im sure its the orignal water pump. I will post my findings on here, it might be a couple days tho because we are in a rainy period and my shop is filled with junk lol.

I tested it with a cold engine. I am completely stumped on what to do next? The engine got hot and gets hot everytime i run it. I thought about replacing the radiator and water pump but i dont think it will fix the miss in the engine.

Today I did a compression check and all the cylinders had 125 psi in them except #3 had 140 psi. The spark plugs all looked the same ( wore out) so I replaced them with new ones and nothing changed. I started reading my Clilton's manual to better understand the removing of the cylinder head. I...

Agree clean TB and IAC If you dont know the history of the jeep you might try replacing the fuel filter/ air filter also. :shades:

Thanks JPN for the pics and info. This morning I removed the upper and lower radiator hoses and flushed the radiator out. I replaced the hoses and clamps and filled the cooling system with a 50/50 mix of coolant and water. I left the heater core bypass tubing inplace and also no thermastat. I...

Thanks for the tip, I was just adding water because i didnt want to waste perfectly good anti freeze:idea: I still would be interested in any info you can provide on the engine troubles for that model.

Lets say the engine was cold like this morning. I would start the 4.0 l and within 3 minutes the engine would be overheating. I bypassed the heater core and removed the thermostat.. same thing. If I let it cool down and restart the engine with the radiator cap off ( to add water) the water that...

Ok bypassing the heater core makes sense now that its summer time. to the best of my knowledge I have burped all the air out of the system ? the engine runs rough now and i was wondering if i might have blown a head gasket causing air to enter the cooling system. at the end of the day I put my...

The fan is working and I flushed the heater core with a high pressure water hose both ways and no restrictions ? both heater hoses seem to get hot, I was wondering if its my vacum opperated heater valve has stuck closed ? If I could get hot water to go thru my heater core I might try Bars Leak...

I just came back from a long trip, apparently I had a small coolant leak in my heater core. I caught it early and managed to limp home. I have changed the thermostat with a new one but cant get the heater to blow hot air. I have purged the air out of the lines but to no availe. I figured the...
