Car in Limp mode still after fixing almost everything

I have a cylinder 4 misfire causing my car to go into Limp Mode, I have replaced my fuel pump, fuel filter, ignition coils, spark plugs and I’m planning on replacing the fuel injectors next. I guess I just need some direction because it’s my daily and I’m stressed as hell right now.

I only have one check engine light and that is the cylinder 4 misfire nothing else but it’s bad enough to where it won’t even start without going into Limp Mode forcing me to have to get rides to work now.

If anyone else has had a similar issue and can help that would be fantastic, I’m not amazing with cars I know some but I’m still very much new to all this.

Is the fluid moving like that ordinary or not?

Is it normal for the fluid to be seemingly out in the open like it is here? I swapped out the transmission oil cooler and got no leaks but I saw this and now I’m unsure if it’s normal or not. Also got a check engine light but I’ll get autozone to scan it later. Anyway, is the fluid moving like that ordinary or not?

Oxygen sensors (downstream)

Anyone change these? Just got an error tonight, and ordered parts for tomorrow. Looks like it is just a really tight fit to get plugs off....Any tips from anyone that has already done this and care to save me 2 hours of cursing for something that should take me 30 minutes (but that translates to 3 hours)?

Misfire Advice

Hi all. 2012 Jeep Liberty Jet that just hit 235k miles. I use the JScan app everyday on my 50min commute. I've had 0 misfire counts on every cylinder until this Tuesday. On start, cylinder 2 started hitting 60+ on the count. Mild rumble then smooths out a few seconds later. Count doesn't increase while driving, doesn't increase at a stop light for any of the cylinders. No smell, no white exhaust fumes, no stumbling driving or any other irregularities. I already had an appointment for tire rotations tomorrow and now having them take a look. Code P0302.

All spark plugs, coil packs changed a month or so ago. New wires, new battery, new throttle body, map sensor, coolant flush, purge valve. Oil change every 3000 miles or less. Coolant level is stable

Fuel injectors have not been changed. Any advice for self diagnosis is appreciated

I accidentally broke my ac condenser and can’t find a new one online

Any chance someone can share a link to purchase a new ac condenser? Or whatever the tiny radiator at the very front is As I accidentally jabbed a hole in it and now coolant leaking.

EDIT: figured out what it is, transmission oil cooler. does anyone know where I could get one for cheep? ORiley’s has it for 150 and rock auto for 100. I’m not trying to break the bank right now but I also do need my car and the sooner I can drive it the better. Meaning I’ll probably bite the bullet and get it from orielys because I can get it tomorrow.

Intense shaking/vibration around 50mph

2006 Jeep Liberty is shaking/vibrating intensely starting around 45mph and gets worse right at 50 and over. Lets up a bit when you push on the gas pedal, and worse when you let off. Just had the front CV axles and front/back driveshafts replaced as all were very worn. I think the issue was there before the work was done, but only noticed it once on the way to the mechanic for the repair, as I hadn’t been driving it for a few months prior due to waiting on having the repair done. Folks at the repair shop drove it after and couldn’t pinpoint the issue. Plan to take it for another opinion at a different shop next week. Any ideas appreciated though!

2012 value

This poor old girl has worn paint, rough interior, and needs a thorough cleaning.

100k miles, decent tires, no dash lights, clean title, second owner, and is a daily driver. We've done all the regular oil changes, belts, mechanical fixes, etc., over the years.

Anyone have a clue what she's worth? Carmax says $1500.

Is this hissing sound normal? 2004 Liberty Sport

Radiator fan has stopped working, the engine overheated in traffic a few days ago. Maybe it’s normal and I haven’t noticed it before?

Wheel bearing or worse?

I have a 2012 Jeep Liberty sport. Started making a helicopter noise when turning and now it's all the time, sounds like front right wheel bearing. But I also noticed my front diff cover is seeping oil, not dripping. I don't feel any wobble in the wheel bearing when I jacked up that side. Maybe a front diff seal? Idk, I'm taking it in for what I think is a wheel bearing on Monday. Noise is the worst around 35mph and definitely changes when turning.

Rear wing?

Has anyone been able to find other options for a rear wing/spoiler? i’d like to get one but it seems this is about it.

Light pinging on acceleration

2007 liberty. I have a light pinging on acceleration when the engine is warm. It doesn't last long only the first couple of seconds.

I started running ethanol free gas as ran seaform through, then I put in double irridium spark plugs...no noticeable change.

That leaves timing, but before I start on that I wanted to see if I might be missing something else.

Taking a road trip, what should I prepare for?

I’m planning on driving my 2005 Jeep Liberty up the coast this summer, beginning in Florida, ending in Quebec, Canada, and then back down to Florida. Total of 12 stops. Should be a total of 3700 miles or 62 hours of drive time. What should I prepare for and inspect on the Liberty before going? What should I bring with me?

02 liberty

This sucks 2 weeks our jeep started missing we'll it was throwing misfire codes for cylinder 2 so I changed simple the like plugs and coil pack an still misfiring so I figured it was a fuel injector so I wasted more money on that shit so I finally checked the compression an it only had 25 pounds lol idk why I didn't check that first before I wasted money but it has been a dependable vehicle we've had it since 2017 an it's got 308,000 miles so I reckon it was due to blow up lol anyhow this sucks bad so Don't do like I did and go replacing parts Go ahead and check that compression in whichever cylinder is misfiring to make sure it's got good compression lol

Buying a 2012 KK Limited

Any thoughts on what I should be looking for? It was my mom's, and has 147,000 miles. She says the main issues she's having are the catalytic converter is bad (or o2 sensors...) and of course she had the TIPM issue a few years back and did some sort of bypass on it to make it run. Otherwise she says it's a strong runner and doesn't have any other issues. Also, does anyone have any experience with the Infinity Gold sound system? Is it worth anything or should I take it out and install my own? Ice heard they sound okay, but I'm a little picky about my sound quality. Thanks for reading and any feedback!

Normal?

Please don’t roast me. I’m not a car guy. Is the rattling noise normal and the pipe I point to shaking normal? I’m not a car guy one bit. I just have this paid off 2010 Jeep Liberty and want to take care of it. Thanks guys

05 liberty was giving me bad highway vibration for a week straight after replacing front driveshaft w/ mechanic... went 80mph+ on the highway yesterday and the right front vibrated for 5 seconds really hard then it stopped. Vibration hasn't came back since, much smoother ride... Any ideas?

I've had 2 mechanics tell me my front right CV axle and ball joint still need replaced but I haven't gotten around to those yet... I personally didn't trust either mechanic at the time because they seemed to be upselling me parts rather than fixing the issue I brought my car in for.

P0340 and P1391 codes. Can’t troubleshoot. 03’ Jeep Liberty 2.4L 4x4 manual 167k

I do my own repairs and I can’t get P0340 and P1391 fixed.

I have a 2003 Jeep liberty 2.4l 4x4 with manual transmission and trying to pass CA smog.

The current issue it has is intermittent loss of cam shaft sensor.

These are the two codes that keep popping up:
-P0340 pops up soon after starting. (Soon after restarting ECU)
-P1391

I thought everything was pointing to the new timing belt, and timing belt parts. I completed the timing belt repair (which it did need, the belt looked old) but the issue persists.

Could it be the battery? The battery is at 11.5v when ignition is in the on position but engine is not running. While idling it’s at 13.3v. In addition, I have fully charged the battery and started the engine. Even after clearing the code, the code still pops up within one minute.

Some of the things I’ve already completed:
-changed two oxygen sensors
-change the camshaft sensor
-change the crankshaft sensor
-change the fuel evaporation valve
-fixed a vacuum leak
-change the idle control valve

Edit: battery has been fully charged and code still pops up within one minute.

Jeep Liberty2007 atlanta

Hello everyone, I need help with my 2007 Jeep Liberty 3.7L V6. I have been dealing with a very frustrating intermittent issue for a long time and I’m running out of ideas.

Current codes:

P0174 (System Too Lean Bank 2)

P0300 (Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire)

Sometimes P0138, then it switches to P0158

Previously had injector and ignition related issues

Main symptoms:

The engine shakes heavily at idle

The vehicle runs rough and unstable

I believe the issue is mainly affecting cylinders 2, 4, and 6

Power delivery feels inconsistent and the idle is not smooth

What I already did:

Replaced all injector connectors with new copper wire pigtails

Soldered and heat-shrinked every connection properly

Checked injector positive voltage (around 14.1–14.3V)

Verified injector pulse on all injectors

Replaced the PCM once

Replaced the EGR valve

Fuel pressure is around 50 PSI

Checked wiring continuity

Performed smoke tests looking for vacuum leaks

Checked upstream and downstream O2 sensors

What I noticed:

Cylinders 2, 4, and 6 behave differently from 1, 3, and 5

Injector ground pulse appears weaker on one bank

Sometimes disconnecting cylinder 2 or 4 barely changes the idle

The problem seems to move between Bank 1 and Bank 2 related codes

Could a bad ground, PCM control issue, shared sensor signal, damaged harness, or another hidden electrical issue cause this behavior even after replacing connectors and checking the wiring?

Any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

2010 Jeep Liberty Sport HVAC, A.C., Actuators. I need cold air!!!

I bought a 2010 Jeep Liberty used a few years ago. The heat barely works, no A.C. at all, and the vents only seem to work on the defrost directly below the windshield.. regardless of what setting I have the knobs turned to. There has also been a very fast clicking noise from the actuator behind the glove box. I can deal with heat, but I was trying to see if I could get some air conditioning in my truck. I was not aware of that there were three actuators total, two on the driver side and one on passenger side. I only had one on each side. The top one was missing completely on the driver side and the bottom one on the driver side has a broken wheel. I want to replace the one behind the glove box on the passenger side also but I can't seem to get it out because it's so tightly squeezed in there. I am not a mechanic, I have a very shaky hands and I am trying to do this myself. I took out some of the parts and now I can't figure out how to get them back in either LOL. Does anyone know what I need to do to get it fixed and if replacing any of these three actuators will actually give me air conditioning or not? I can't afford to take it somewhere. If you can help, please! And thank you!
