Hello,
I am new to the community but have used the forms here to fix numerous issues with my Liberty. I am currently having some issues that numerous people have had with their libertys and I haven't been able to find anyone who has actually had this problem fixed. I'm just trying to reopen the subject to hopefully find the ultimate solution to this problem. Here we go with the symptoms:
About two months ago I started up my 2003 liberty limited and it was idling really rough. I had no issues prior to this just suddenly I start the vehicle and it barely stays running while it is idling. I took it out for a drive so see what was going on and as I began to accelerate there was very little response when i pushed the gas pedal. As the vehicle slowly accelerated I noticed that it was not shifting as it normally does. It is an automatic and the rpms were getting much higher than normal before it would shift. once it finally got ready to shift the engine would cut in and out. I would have power then none. The car was bucking and choking and the only way it would shift was if I let the gas out and very slowly eased it back in. The check engine light was on and flashing at this point and so I went straight to a parts store. It was throwing P300 codes I think it was 300 301 305 306. I replaced all of the coil packs hoping that was the issue, no luck there. I needed the car to get me back to Colorado and didn't have the time or resources to fix the issue so I took it to a dealership to have them fix what was wrong. $700 later the car was running well. They replaced the charcoal filter and some stuff around it that was corroded. They told me they checked the engine and that luckily there was nothing wrong with the engine internally. I got back to Colorado and a few weeks later it started doing the same thing it was doing before. I searched round online and saw that it could be the ASD relay so I replaced that. It fixed the issue for about a day then it came right back. I did some more research and decided to replace the plugs. I thought I had found the golden ticket. as soon as the plugs were replaced the car was running much better. It ran well for about a week then this morning I started it up and it was spitting ad sputtering and misfiring. all of the same issues came back. There are more than several people online who have these same issues it as soon as they think they have them fixed they come right back. I don't really want to continue with replacing sensors and whatnot if it isn't going to fix the problem. I have read everything from timing sensors updates to the vehicle computer but none of these repairs have permanently fixed this problem. Please help!! Is there anyone out there who has found the ultimate concrete solution to this problem??
