    CRD Loosing power and Blowing smoke

    Cleaned them. No change. Had it towed to the repair shop today so I should know something soon.

    Thanks. Going to clean the mass airflow sensor now. One more thing... With the engine off I disconnected the mass air sensor. started the jeep right up. no problem starting and idling. with it running I plugged it back in. Nothing happened.

    Removed both inter-cooler hose. Both are fine and apparently already been replace by my father-in-law with the silicone ones. Also checked the air intake hose from the air filter for rot. It was also in great shape.

    CRD Loosing power and Blowing smoke

    I have a 2005 CRD with the same issue. Both intercooler hoses are good. Can't seem to find any hoses with cracks, holes or that have come off.

    2005 Liberty Diesel won't start

    I have a 05 Liberty factory diesel that will not start. Changed the ignition switch & module. Nothing. With key in the on position I could jump it at the starter relay and solenoid. But now it won't start by jumping it. Took it to a 5 Star jeep dealership. 6 weeks later they "tapped out". The...
