Help Request Possible starter issue

Post image
• Upvotes

I recently received a 2008 jeep liberty a few weeks ago. A few days ago I went to start it after leaving it for not even 30 minutes right after driving it, and when I go to start it I could immediately tell something was off because the car was just bouncing and trying to start, even though I wasn’t turning the key anymore. It’s only happened twice so far and I haven’t been able to get a video or anything.

2002-2007 KJ Oil leak turned relatively major

I have a 2005 sports limited, always had an oil leak but now its getting pretty bad. I have some photos here, Im about another 30 minutes into research and two main possibilities in my opinion are Oil Pressure switch or a gasket/seal of some sort. No overheating, no rough idle. Just loss of oil at a high rate(5q a month) any ideas or anyone dealt with this before?.

Discussion Has anyone used the P22 OBD2 HUD on a Jeep Liberty KK?

Post image
2 Upvotes

I'm considering getting this P22 OBD2 HUD (or a similar device) for my Jeep Liberty KK.

I already have the JScan app, so I don't need another full diagnostic tool. I just want a simple display while driving to keep an eye on two things: battery voltage and engine coolant temperature.

Has anyone here tried the P22 on a Jeep Liberty KK? I'm particularly interested in whether both readings work correctly and whether the display is reliable while driving.

If you use a different OBD2 HUD or gauge that can display battery voltage and coolant temperature clearly, I'd really appreciate your recommendations too. It doesn't have to be the P22.

Thanks in advance!

Brake Lights burnt out nearly a week after replacing the bulbs??

4 Upvotes

So I was out and about and on my way home after a 3 hour trip last weekend when someone flagged me over and told me I have no brake lights. I immediately pulled into a gas station and had my partner confirm that (the third brake light works) both aren't working, but the bulbs aren't even turning on either.

We go to AutoZone and get some replacements and I install them there. Driver's side now works, passenger side still busted. Inside the assembly it's kinda...melted; dude at the counter says I should look into a new bulb holder instead of the whole assembly. Cool, I have at least one working brake light now, I'm good to drive home. Both tail lights work too.

The next day I decide to pop the light out again and swap the bulb holders (and the bulbs!) and the holder itself works just fine, but the brake light still doesn't turn on, the tail lights do. Driver's side is still good!

Fast forward to today. I changed my oil (woo 210,000 miles!) and we went to see a movie. On the way back I notice the guy behind me suddenly swerve when I slow down and I'm like damn bro chill, but when we park I peek out my side view mirror and sure enough the driver's side brake light is out again -- however NOW the tail light doesn't work either! Blinkers, Reverse lights work, and the passenger tail light works, but both brake lights are out, and now I'm down to one tail light when the lights are on.

Is it because the melted assembly is toast and it shorted/blew the other one? I don't think it would be a bad brake switch since it's still triggering the third brake light. I bought new tail lights to pick up on Saturday, and I'll be replacing the fuse for it but if those don't work I need a new launching point if y'all got suggestions.

Discussion The engine that just won't die.

8 Upvotes

So my 2006 Liberty has a rod knock. It's the 3.6L V6. The rod knock started in late February, and I drove it through the end of ski season, 20 trips to the mountains and back with the knock. Now it's almost opening day for this current ski season, and I've put 10K miles on this knock over the summer time. Not sure what kind of witchcraft they did at the Tennessee factory that produced this thing, but it just keeps fucking going! I'm buying some cheap ass all terrains to get me through winter because I doubt this engine will last another 10K. It's been an incredible run.

I've been keeping oil topped off as it burns it now, and mixing a quart of oil stabilizer every time I change the filter (4K miles), so far there has been no issues other than the awful noise of the knock.

Discussion Update on 05 Liberty repair

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

The radiator has been replaced, the front-end support for the bumper has been replaced, and the trim and bumper are finally done. It's not all put together, as there is a check engine code possibly caused by not changing the knock sensors from the engine rebuild, but yeah, it's coming together. Most of the bad damage was to the radiator; the rest is the trim only issue rn is figuring out the OBD codes and getting them sorted for inspection to be done. It is most likely the knock sensors after not being changed from the rebuild.

2008 Liberty had shake and Engine light came on and these codes came out, it was time to change spark plugs so I replaced all 6 with new coil packs too.

The shaking persists but much less compared to the original.

Perfect timing because my NYS inspection is due by the end of the month -___-

2008 jeep liberty - stupid question

Post image
12 Upvotes

I got a 2008 jeep liberty sport over the weekend and noticed one little weird thing about it. You know how in just about any car, when you take your foot off the brake from a stop, the car will begin to roll a little bit? When I take my foot off the brake in this it doesn’t move at all until I hit the gas. Should I be concerned or no ?

02 KJ p0420

2 Upvotes

Almost 200k miles on an 02 KJ v6 auto 4x4.

Got a p0420 code last week. Cleared it. Came back a few days later. No drivability issues. Idles fine. No loss of power.

Occasionally blows smoke on idle and the exhaust smells bad when this happens. Not a regular occurance though. Maybe once or twice a day while parked or stopped at a red light.

Should I try changing the o2 sensors first? Coolant is normal level. Oil is normal level.

Help Request EGR motor in a non-EGR Liberty

Putting a new motor in my kid’s 2005 Liberty 3.7 and got to the driver side exhaust manifold last night and whaddya know, there’s an EGR port staring me down. It looks like I can just order an EGR manifold and it will block the EGR hole, but what else am I going to find that I’ll need to plug?

Totally new to towing. Ended up with this huge trailer. The liberty got the job done. Boy did she guzzle gas in the process 😂 It was pretty windy though. Won't be towing often but it's nice to know its capable!

4 speed auto, 3.7L v6, 4wd command trac.
In great condition. Has an aftermarket CarPlay enabled screen with Bluetooth, radio, etc. Runs smooth as a baby’s bottom.

I’ve put a lot of work into maintaining it. New spark plugs, rear CV axle, radiator fan, coolant pump, temp sensor, MAP sensor, etc.

What should I sell it for?

Discussion 2012 Liberty

2 Upvotes

As the title says, I’m looking for information on a 2012 liberty jet edition. When using the air conditioner, it blows great cold air out of whatever vent is selected. When I put on the heat, it goes directly to the defroster no matter what position the selector is so I can’t put it on feet. I can’t put it on feet and face mixture. It just automatically goes to defroster. Then if I switch it back to air-conditioning all the vents work regularly anybody have any ideas?

Computer Issue & pissed beyond belief

1 Upvotes

I have a 2011 Liberty 70th Anniversary Edition

This thing has me pissed beyond belief. I have an issue with the charging system. I was at Walmart when the car wouldn't start. Tried to get a jump from a stranger, got a minute down the road and It died again. I figured it was the alternator. I got home, purchased a new alternator...ibstalled it, charged the new battery again...STILL dies with the dash lighting up with errors

Did some research online and found it's the voltage regulator...which is inside the computer. I DO NOT have over $1000 to replace it. I purchased an external voltage regulator (I can post a link to what I bought) , I installed it and still can't get the fucking thing to maintain voltage. I wired it right...and it's aggravating I can't get it.

Can't goto work...which means less money, so im stuck and fucked.

I have it wired to the Aux power (Cig lighter fuse) and it's not on constant power...only on when I turn the key...

what the fuck am I doing wrong‽‽‽

Any recommendations will help. Thanks in advance
