    crankshaft position sensor - you gotta be kidding me

    I can't imagine what's holding it in the hole either. Maybe the rust that was on the outside of the o-ring is stopping it from coming out. I'll try getting some sandpaper in the bore to see if I can make a little room. I'm going to go get a right angle drill attachment at the HD so I can get a...

    crankshaft position sensor - you gotta be kidding me

    I tried that once and the screw puled out. I think my problem is because I have the screw in at an extreme angle, when I pry on it outward it rips through the plastic. I think maybe the key to this is a right hand drill so you can put a screw in straight. I'm going to try and pick something...

    crankshaft position sensor - you gotta be kidding me

    So I've been working on this for hours....a few last night, a few more tonight, the thing wouldn't budge. Of course I broke the head off and kept breaking pieces off, then tonight as I was scraping around it, spraying it, and trying to drill holes I finally revealed the gasket, then was able to...

    Strange, intermittent startup issue

    well I replaced the sparkplugs and it seemed like my problem was fixed but then i got the weird startup issue again yesterday. Took about 6 cranks to get it started, each time the engine would turn over but it would just choke itself out, i finally got it going. Still weird that it happens...

    Strange, intermittent startup issue

    thanks Itd02, I did the spark plugs yesterday and so far that's made a huge difference. I might tackle IAC cleaning as well. I'll see how it drives this week but my problem might have only been due to bad spark plugs and they were old....here's a post I made about...

    Spark Plugs possible age?

    Here's a pic of the worst of the spark plugs I replaced yesterday. As I learn more about cars while attempting to fix my Liberty I realized, yesterday, that I certainly overlooked replacing the spark plugs. I'm sure this has fixed my low start up idle problem and I'm sure a host of other...

    Strange, intermittent startup issue

    Hey guys im getting what seems to be this exact problem. I didnt think about the heated up start problem but yesterday after leaving a store it took 4 cranks to get started. It would turn over and cough itself out then finally i was able to get some gas into it while it was barely idling and...

    Angry Sparrows not front drive shaft now what?

    Hey jeepjeepster are you saying you had a good amount of play before the last time you changed the CV axle but the seals and bushings were fine and didnt need replacing? Ive got a small space where im working so I might not be able to do both wheels at the same time. Got almost all the nuts...

    Angry Sparrows not front drive shaft now what?

    Jeez I hope that's not what I find in there. I'm not ready with all that stuff. I guess I'll pull them and investigate. Theres definitely some kind of bearing puller I would need correct? I'm about the head out to the garage and start workin. Another simple question... Last night when I...

    Angry Sparrows not front drive shaft now what?

    Are you recommending pulling both axles because it might put weird stress on the diff if I only pulled one side at a time? Changing out the u-joints was incredibly difficult. Since i only have one car It had to be done. I would highly recommend taking it to a driveline shop for anyone...

    Angry Sparrows not front drive shaft now what?

    I just finished replacing the u-joints and of course the sound is still there. I think I knew deep down inside it would be. Tomorrow I will give the axle shafts a go and see if I can pull those. That should narrow it down. Replacing the u-joints was about exactly as hard as I thought it...

    Angry Sparrows not front drive shaft now what?

    I just went back over the brakes and couldn't see anywhere which appeared to be rubbing. I will have to order the intermediate shaft so I think pulling the cv axle(s) right now and seeing if my noise goes away is a great idea. If I pull the passenger side one I'm assuming the intermediate...

    Angry Sparrows not front drive shaft now what?

    JeepJepster, I guess I'm interpreting the angry sparrows sound to be that of a high pitched squealing that gets louder the faster you go so more angry, but definitely not metal balls in a coffee can or a rumble or anything like that.... So the inner CV joint on passenger side has maybe twice...

    Angry Sparrows not front drive shaft now what?

    Hey JeepJeepster thanks for reminding me about that. I forgot to mention that in the first post Yeah the sparrows go away when applying the brakes and when in tight turns although I think I heard it the other day when going around a road bend, they seem to be the loudest when going straight and...

    Angry Sparrows not front drive shaft now what?

    Hey Guys, thanks for all the detailed suggestions. We got the car as a hand-me-down so being that it only cost $1 I can't complain about any problems I'm having. I got nailed by the dealership for a transmission rebuild recently so I'm trying to learn from that mistake. I'll post some more...

    Angry Sparrows not front drive shaft now what?

    Hey Guys, So I inspected my front drive shaft, 2004 Liberty 3.6L, as was recommended multiple times on the forum and of course the Transfer case side CV joint boot was obliterated so I assumed that had to be my problem. (see photo below) of course I'm glad I did because that definitely needs...
