Sourced a manifold and gasket yesterday pm from a very nice man in Diss

Should be with me tomorrow..

Just has to be done sometimes. Make sure it's a genuine or similar metallic type gasket not cheapo cardboard type - it's not the kind of job you want to do twice cos of inferior parts.

Bishops Finger · « **Reply #7 on:** June 02, 2011, 11:35:36 PM »

Will stick some more fuel in it..certainly revs like fuck when you manually tweak the accellerator cable....

Gaz...I still have a plan...

Bulldog67 · « **Reply #11 on:** June 09, 2011, 06:40:50 PM »

Update..help is needed ...Took the TJ out today...Drove @1.5 miles and put 2 1/2 gallons of petrol in..drove it @ 7 miles and engine started intermittently loosing power pressed accelerator and it picked up 3 miles later turning a corner in second gear it started intermittantly loosing power only worse this time thought it was going to stall dropped it into first and accelerated and it picked up but 200 yards later backing onto the drive it wasnt revving constantly pulled the accellerator cable and it started revving normally whilst it was put into the garage

Exhaust place dont appear to have removed inlet manifold all connections seem in place and air was going into the inlet and filter seems OK
Could it be the engine management system is 'learning' the new exhaust flow or is it possibly a sensor playing up

Oh and tried ignition on off on off on but no code came up

check they aint damaged the wire to the oxygen sensor in the downpipe, if not it sounds like throttle position sensor

Methinks O2 sensor...willhave a look tomorrow and see if it can be found..exhaust down pipe past manifold one believes....

Bishops Finger · « **Reply #16 on:** June 17, 2011, 02:02:09 PM »

Couldnt find any damage to any sensor so took it to a local Jeep specialist for a diagnostic and as I suspected its a fooked O2 sensor...

£20 for the sensor £120 for the garage to plug the puter in and tell you
