Hey everyone, Finally solved this problem but first my symptoms for anyone who may find themselves troubleshooting this issue too. Started first thing in the morning, little tough but it would get there. Stop for coffee and it wouldn't start. I would disconnect the battery, wait 15 min...

I had something similar happen to me and if you check my post history I figured it out. Had a bent Cam tone wheel and slipped a couple of links on my timing chain due to spent tension springs and guides. Might be worth looking into.

Final update. I got my Jeep back! Had it towed two weeks ago to another mechanic for a second opinion before I wrote her off as too expensive to repair. The guys over at Brothers Jeep repair in OKC/Midwest City know what they're doing. He diagonsed it slipping timing chain before I took it in...

I hope I got the right sensor. The part number is there if anyone know what the right part number is. I'll have access to a scope next weekend and be able to get more info then. I've got the old sensor that threw the code installed now and she'll start, just a little rough and threw the...

Hey everyone! First off, yes, I searched but didn't quite find the answer. I recently bought an 02 Liberty Sport with 3.7L and manual trans. When I bought it the guy told me the check engine light was for a leaky gas cap. Not my best decision but I really like the Jeep and it sure is nice to...
