Wrangler running problem
« on: March 31, 2008, 06:34:55 PM »

Hi everyone! I've had a fault with my 1999 V reg Wrangler 4.0L sport for over 18 months now, and despite several visits to local garages, no-one has (yet) solved it... I wonder if someone could please help! Every time I run it, as it approaches normal operating temp, it starts spluttering, back firing and if stuck at traffic lights or similar, the revs will go all over the place. It has had a new 'mapping sensor' as one garage thought it was that, but no change at all! It's really annoying as its a nightmare to drive now. After 10 mins or so, it seems to clear itself and drives ok (if a bit under powered). Has any body experienced a similar fault? P.S It seems to spit out a fair bit of moisture from exhaust system - may this be linked or normal? Thanks in advance, Jamie down in N.Devon

It sounds like the upstream oxygen sensor.

Hi Jamie, mine ('97 Wrangler) did that on and off for ages. We eventually pinned it down to the oxygen upstream sensor. The sensor was loose  :roll:

yes. sounds like the upstream sensor is causing this problem.

the sensor is ignored when the engine is cold, then comes into affect when up to normal running temperature.
