I have a 2003 Jeep Liberty Renegade 3.7L V6 with 230,000 miles that I bought about two weeks ago. Been driving fine, had only two engine codes. P0122, and P0158. Looked it up and everyonr seemed to say it wasn't an immediate fix that was needed. Few days later I change the oil, everything is good. Yesterday, I top up the coolant resovoir with somr plain distilled water, probably used less than a 1/4 of a gallon, checked all the fluids, everything was max level, and was in good condition.
This afternoon, I turn it on for a wuick drive. Turns on fine, idles fine. But I hear this sloshing/water flowing sound behind the passenger side dash. Turn on headlights. Shift to reverse. I don't feel it engage. Give it a bit of gas, goes to 1.3K RPM, then drops all the way to zero, shuts off, and I get and oil pressure light.
I decide to try it again, and everything seems fine. Coming to a stop and no problems. Taking off from a stop, it seems like right after I give it a bit of gas and take my foot off the pedal, it either drops down to 300 RPM, then rises qickly bsck to 600-700, or it shuts off entirely and I lose all engine power, and the oil pressure light comes on. Run my little OBD2 scanner again, and now I have a P0740 code, "Torque Converter Clutch Circuit/Open" is what it says.
Anyone have any sort of idea as to what the hell is going on?
