Extreme death wobble

[Leahatrill]

You have four bolts right they're coming off where the manifold meets the two catalytic converters... What typically happens is the fitting where's a little bit in the bolts corrode and lock and feel real tight but you're getting an exhaust leak that sucks in fresh air... By the Venturi principle... That confuses the oxygen sensors and they give the computer weird readings

I know you were looking into the wiring and all that a while back... And it's good to make sure one of the oxygen sensor wires is not touching the exhaust or anything... But I doubt it's anything sinister in the wiring, could be , but most likely it will end up being something tricking the computer , or a couple of things working together like an exhaust leak and a vacuum leak.

So you think it could potentially be where the exhaust manifold attaches to the engine? Or the cats I mean? This could very well be the problem or even a vacuum leak absolutely I’m going to check those bolts tomorrow too. Exhaust leak I don’t think so because before I replaced where there was a weld in my exhaust pipe before the rear cat my computer was throwing a 0157 code ...after cutting a portion out and fitting a pipe in that area the code disappeared and hasn’t returned ...I also don’t hearing as much hissing as before too. But that manifold/cat bolts you mentioned is a strong possibility....or maybe even a crack or smething in the manifold I haven’t even inspected that aRea but it’s some rusted there last time I checked

Yes , cracked manifolds on in line *6 cylinders are notorious ...and the precat bolts , and metal to metal fitment , needs checked.

Here's the catch...they can appear snug... I typically soak them in penetrant overnight... But once you break them free they'll turn three or four times and you're like wow.

Seems like you had a multitude of codes...so you could get a situation where you have something like that and just one other thing like a bad plug, and the computer is just thrown a loop .

You need the ngk sensors, always... I don't know how many threads we've seen where other sensors caused more problems than they solved.

Check all your connections and grounds... take things apart and make sure they're clean and nothing is fried or a wire going into a connector is loose.

I realize you could have something deeper going on but I'm just giving you the basics that I start with.

Keep us posted , when you learn, we learn .

hmm

all the issues with the Jeep, are they a result of your tinkering with it, or your tinkering resulted from the issues?
If it is first, i may have found the solution to 99% of the problems.

Hell, might as well throw in the woman thing also, just get it over with......

Oh boy.... Now say something about her mom.... Go ahead and say it.

I'm crawling back under a rock again.

Lol just an FYI before I even waste my time responding to the little boys who wear tampons and troll around trying to create drama on my posts I automatically block them

 

[eastbloc]

thought id bring some humor in ... but looks like i missed the spot, and rubbed in wrong place

Yaaa buddy

 

[KillerIsMe]

Could sure use some @Zedd on this thread

With all the salts that are applied on the roads in your area; hope the bolts for the trac bar come loose easily.
Probably time to apply some PB Blaster before attempting to loosen them.
To make it easier.... the taper for bolt on the tie rod end of the trac bar can be loosened by smacking the old tie rod with a ball peen hammer.

Reference those Bauer's in your front seat - I heard that Bettman just canceled the rest of the season. Don't know about you, but that just free'd up a lot more of my time. The Leaf's had a chance this year too, would have been great playoffs.

This whole bolt piece that’s attaches to the boot is rotating when trying to remove the castle but wtf. I guess I need to tear this boot apart to get access to the bolt shaft and hold it while removing the nut?

 

[S.McArthur]

tear this boot apart

Probably your best route, you aren't using it again, go nuts. Wouldn't hurt to clean the threads up as well.

 

[CharlesHS]

You can use a cutoff wheel on the rusted nut since you are not reusing anything other than the pitman arm.

I honestly can’t believe this lol the simplest of jobs ....I’m cutting this piece of junk off
