    O2 sensor heater codes

    Just wanted to update this for the benefit of others that may have this problem. So fast forward another 7 months, codes never cleared, though it was only driven a handful of times. Sent my PCM to Mark at Wranglerfix, and it threw all the O2 codes immediately. So, I bit the bullet, got a new PCM...

    Work Bench & Garage Version 2

    I’ll throw in my 2 cents, a bit late. Started around 14 in 1 car garage. Fast forward 40 plus years, a rented shop, then 1 1/2 car garage and now a 3 bay shop plus loft, plus the 1 1/2 car garage. As your needs change and you need modifications, and the years pass, you appreciate what you did...

    What Paint To Use For painting Under The Tub?

    Gotta agree with mrblaine! Good prep work is a lot of work which you will remember! The extra cost for quality paint, will be forgotten, except for the longer lasting job. I just finished doing a bed on 2011 F250, that’s lived life in upstate NY where drivers rely on an incredible amount of...

    O2 sensor heater codes

    Thanks for the reminder to update. I did change out the other 2 O2 sensors to get that out of the mix. No change, all codes still thrown at startup after clearing with a scanner. Note this Jeep is towed for camping trips, so not a daily driver. We’ve taken it on trip and driven probably about...

    Flat tow disaster

    I’ve flat towed our TJ, with a manual for about 20,000 miles now. 2x I must have not had the transfer case fully in neutral, as luckily someone heard a clicking sound as I drove by out of campground. I assumed I was being careless and not checking closely enough. Not sure on the true mechanical...

    Adventure trailer build

    Sounds like you’ve done everything possible short of mixing the drinks for her. You've gone way beyond just a tent. Hope you have a great time!

    Adventure trailer build

    Not sure how well that would work as I haven’t used it, I guess it would depend on use and gallons you want. We have an RV and the ‘wobble diaphragm’ pumps are real hardy. Good pressure and can run dry. They typically have a built in pressure switch, so just turn on automatically when you...

    Adventure trailer build

    That is a great build! You set that up nice for future additions. If you haven’t found one already, an RV water tank, on demand pump and a faucet would fit right in. Get a propane stove and the kitchen is complete. If the 3 am pees become an issue, I bet you can integrate one of those pop up...

    O2 sensor codes for all 4 sensors at once

    Thanks Mike! I appreciate the time you spent on phone with me when dealing with my no start issue. Once I get my other 2 sensors in and check wiring a little more, I ‘ll do the PCM test. Thanks for offering this service to us!

    O2 sensor codes for all 4 sensors at once

    @Jerry Bransford Jerry which O2 codes were you getting? I have all 4 O2 Heater sensor codes ‘ O2 Heater control Low”, P0031, P0037, P0051, P0057 and debating whether to try the PCM or not. Since these codes pop up immediately after ignition on ( not started) and a code clear, I’m thinking...

    It's a sad, sad day

    Heard this once. ‘if you dont keep it past 100k miles, then you probably didn’t maintain it right‘. Let it roll!

    TJ kayak carrier

    Ignore the upright Kayak carriers in the pic, I’ve never used them. Was thinking setting it up to carry 3-4 kayaks on their side if more were needed. on our first trip to Canadian Rockies, kayak rentals were $90/ hr or something crazy like that. Was sure to use that example to justify buying...

    TJ kayak carrier

    So it’s not trailer, but I did this build as we tow the TJ behind a Class C RV, and needed to haul our kayaks and bikes. What I quickly learned was the advantage of having it all on the Jeep, once you get to your resting spot, no unloading from the RV. Just hop into the Jeep and off to the Kayak...

    O2 sensor heater codes

    So I’ve tried to read all the previous threads on this, but my issue seems slightly different. This is a 2006 TJ, 4.0. last week I posted on the no start issue. 2 x when it barely started then ran poor it threw all 4 O2 Heater sensor codes ‘ Heater control O2 Low”, P0031, P0037, P0051, P0057...

    Why a TJ?

    Only Jeep we had before was A Cherokee my wife drove and she loved it. So we needed a vehicle to tow behind the RV for camping trips. TJ fit the bill. - Easy tow due to old fashioned 4WD. - Never heard anything bad about the 4.0. - Ready for some back roads on trips. - Versatile to haul kayaks...

    Purchased my first TJ

    Congrats on the new Jeep and welcome. I’m quite new here myself but have a similarly set up TJ by the PO, so I can chime in on a few questions. Mine is an 06, 4.0, 6 spd., , about a 2- 2.5 inch lift with 33s. The big difference for us is it’s an extra vehicle we tow behind an RV, so it doesn’t...

    Cranks but no start

    Problem solved! I’ll provide the details in hopes of helping a future member. 1st special thanks to Mike at Wranglerfix! We had a good discussion this am and decided I should check timing and grounds before sending in PCM. Timing checked out fine. So since it sat overnight and I a new...

    Cranks but no start

    Well I put in a new high CCA battery to get that out of mix. No luck. I’ve been wondering about timing as well. I only messed with OPDA earlier today and was careful to take it out and back in with pin aligned. From what I’m reading, it seems that timing could only be affected by CPS ( or bad...

    Cranks but no start

    Ok thanks. I’ll contact Mark. Regarding fuel pressure , just checked and my fuel rail has no pressure test port. Is there another location/ method to test?
