Yea, it's a 3.7L. The codes are pretty ambiguous and not only related to the oxygen sensors...

The PCM/throttle body are definitely logical places to start... but do you have any ideas other than just checking the connections at the plugs? I have an OBD reader and a multi meter I could use to take some measurements.

Hey all, I have a 2007 Liberty and hoping someone may have gone down this road before and could offer some advice. I'm having some serious intermittent issues which are almost certainly electrical in nature. They are: Sometimes the Jeep will not start. It will act as if the battery was dead...

Yea, the terminal post did get a bit squished, but at some point in the next year or two I'm expecting it'll be time for a new battery anyway. Thanks for the heads up though - when I replace the battery or if the issue pops up again I'll go with brass.

Sorry for the long delay... been really busy lately. Anyway, I ended up figuring out the cause of the problem. It was THIS P.O.S! That's the negative battery terminal. Apparently all of these symptoms can be caused by a poor connection on the negative side, resulting in the charging...

EDIT: My issue has been solved. See my post below. Leaving all this info in case other people find it helpful. I don't really know how to describe this other than posting a video, but my 07 just started displaying some very weird behaviour. While driving, the dashboard is going a bit crazy...

bump and edit So I got busy and never had time to actually work on this, but last week a CEL came on. Pulled the code and it was a low system voltage - had the alternator tested and turns out my initial hunch was correct - bad alternator. So I'm now shopping around for alternators. Any...

Thanks for the replies. The tire repair kit makes a lot more sense. I think I'm gonna go with this one, which is a bit cheaper but still seems pretty good. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0039HBPQ4/ref=gno_cart_title_0?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER Any reccomendations on a good 12V...

Big thanks to everyone who posted info in this thread. I just did this today from underneath the Jeep, without a lift or any tool except a 1/2" drive ratchet and the 1 1-/2" socket. I don't think it's a 10 minute job unless you've done it before, but definitely easier than tearing apart the...

Thanks for the confirmation

I'm planning on a three day camping trip in Death Valley which will involve driving some rough roads - I'll have the spare tire with me, but in the event I get a second flat along the way somehow, I don't want to be stranded a good hundred miles from the nearest town... So I'm thinking of...

Hey, love this forum. I've been noticing my '07 3.7L sport has been idling a bit low... sometimes around 500 RMP, and once while making a very slow turn it stalled on me. I wanted to try cleaning the IAC and see if that was the issue. When I went under the hood and removed the air intake hose...
