The 2007 Jeep Liberty with 3" lift from @rockyroadoutfitters and @Jbaoffroad.com upper control arms is doing well in the dirt. Got a little bump stop action today with the dirtbike on the tail, but that is expected. The @rigidindustries baja ditch lights are so bright we could see lizards 20 yards away.

So im sure one maybe 2 fuel injectors where sticking intermittently as the jeep would puke fuel out the exhaust on start up and when idling in one spot for too long. Than, I'm sure i fried the rest trying to clean them. The filter screens where essentially gone and only a plastic and brass ring where left in the injectors. Upgraded to 12 hole fuel injectors. Idles smoother and seems to have got some power back.

12 hole? Jeez, I remember 4 hole injectors being the big mod on the 4.0 back in the day.

Mpg's hasn't seemed to change however I've only put maybe 25 miles on it since the swap, the computer is still learning as I reset it and maybe put my foot a little too much on the pedal as I was excited with it waking up a bit more. Oh I miss my 500hp chevelle.

Needed it running by Monday morning so I ordered some fuel injectors on Amazon that had good reviews as they where the only ones to get me running by Monday and where some brand that never heard of. Others I was interested in would not ship to my area or would take too long. I will search and replace them with bosh ones in the future however these seem like clones to me.

Anyone know how to be sure your built-in theft protection isn't preventing the Jeep from starting. My battery is good, all the usual lights on the dash come on when I turn the key, the gas gauge moves from zero to whatever is in the tank (just over half for me right now), etc., but the starter does not crank at all.

This happens to me every six months to a year or so and has done so for the past few years. It is sitting in the gym parking lot right now (I hope...) and I would like to give the mechanic a head start when it (hopefully) gets towed in tomorrow.

If it is the anti-theft that is the culprit, it will start and run for about a second or two, then die. This is if it is not sensing your Jeep’s chip key. If the vehicle is not starting at all, I suspect you have a different cause.
