Greetings,
I am new to to forum as well as a new Jeep owner
I recently purchased a 2004 Jeep Liberty with the 3.7 V6 equipped with the 5 speed manual. It has almost 200,000 miles on it. When I was driving it home, I had a check engine light that came on and started to flash. Once home, I found code P0132 (bank 1, sensor 1) oxygen sensor high voltage. I checked wiring and all was good. I put a new NEK sensor in, and instantly codes PASSED and it was running great. Now that I put a few miles on it, all still seemed well.
Now, the new issue (which did happen originally as well) is that once the engine is warm, and go to restart it after 20-30 min, it will hard start and run great, then after another 20-30 min, it will crank but wont turn over, try again, same thing. it takes a good 5 cranks until she purrs. then again its running great. once, it did throw code P0138, (bank 1, sensor 2) oxygen sensor. but now codes are clear and i can expect this randomness to happen. If i start this vehicle the next day cold, she starts right up. this scenario i mentioned above happened today. cold start> drive 50 miles> restart 30 min later> 1 hard crank> drive 2 miles > restart 10 min later> rough 5 cranks to start.> park for the evening
air filter is brand new, cleaned MAF sensor, all tubing clean. No smoke, coolant/oil appear to be separate (no head issue). i will notice a rich smell once awhile at idle.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated
thank you !!!
