BAD O2 SENSOR?? JEEP 4.0 MISSFIRE SOLVED - UPSTREAM OXYGEN SENSOR REPLACED

  • Опубликовано: 4 июл 2024
  • I have frequent questions about Jeep 4.0s rrunning roughly even though many ignition components have been replaced. I recently experienced this in the General Grievous ZJ and now I can confidently report that this problem can be caused by a bad upstream O2 sensor. Hope you guys enjoy!

    1998 Grand 4.0….Went through the whole fuel system. Replaced fuel pump assembly and filter (all one unit inside the tank in the rear). Replaced fuel injectors. Pulled the distributor and inspected it. Went through ignition system. Replaced ignition coil, distributor rotor cap, replaced wires, and installed new plugs. These exact symptoms were my issue and no matter what key words I typed or how much I searched I couldn’t figure this out! So I went step by step troubleshooting my way into oblivion! I even replaced worn parts of my vacuum hoses.
    Still the same symptoms persisted!
    My whole top end was rebuilt too early on to these symptoms 2 years ago. Head was removed, ported…polished…new gasket.
    Woke up today and took it to my local mechanic who rebuilt my cylinder head and had him throw his code reader on (even though no check engine light EVER came on). Code read “cylinder 4 misfire.” )Cylinder 4 is the last cylinder closest to the windshield).
    So I figured-
    A: it’s a bad plug by chance …even though it was replaced a year ago when my head was rebuilt. And even though I also physically checked ALL plugs were receiving a spark
    OR
    B: Oxygen sensor! Typed in “cylinder 4 misfire” and your video popped up. Dude the way you described the symptoms was SPOT ON and I immediately went to the parts store and got an “Upstream sensor 1” part
    I snipped the wires and threw on a 7/8 impact socket onto a long breaker bar. Hoses down the old O2 sensor with weasel piss (PB blaster) and kept the Jeep running. Blocked the back tires and had it up on ramps. Laid down from the front - end side and the sensor is right there! ( Be extra cautious if you do this because the tan blade is right there above you and will most definitely fuck your day up more.
    Wrenched down on her pushing away from me (lefty loosey) and she came right out with some hard effort. Brace your back against the passenger side front tire for leverage.
    Note*. Flash reset your computer by unhooking the ground wire from the battery with a 1/2 inch wrench. Do not let it touch the terminal and go turn on your light switch on and off a few times. I also go through the motions of turning the engine on and off and hit the blinkers. Basically you are discharging any remaining power in your electrical system. Hook the ground wire back up and you are golden! Any code should be wiped and the computer will relearn your driving behavior and will adjust to the new sensor readings. Giving your better fuel economy and peace of mind.
    Cheers

    Dude, thank you for the tip. I have a 2004 wj with the 4 o2 sensors. It started running bad for a few days and tons of black smoke out of the exhaust and then over the course of a few minutes it would literally not move above an idle while in gear. I could put it in park and rev it to the limiter but once in gear the gas pedal literally did nothing. I received tons of advice from "mechanics" and they all said spark plugs, coils, injectors, IAC, TPS, clogged fuel filter and clogged cats.
    However none of them could explain why it idled fine and could be revved in park which wouldn't happen if they were the issue. But alas with no smoking gun I started with the spark plugs since I had never changed them in the 80k miles I've driven it and i bought it used with 99k miles and had no idea how old they were to begin with. The electrodes were severely worn down and the gap was easily twice the factory distance. So I thought that had to be it... Nope. No change.
    Then because of the completely dead gas pedal I thought maybe the TPS. Nope, replaced it and cleaned out the throttle body with no change.
    I knew from a previous check engine light that one of the downstream o2 sensors was failing and saw that they were a common problem on the 4.0 so I replaced both of them and the oil pressure sensor that was failing randomly. Still no change.
    I was defeated and ready to take it to a mechanic for the first time since I've owned it. But then going down the rabbit hole one more time I found your video and while it wasn't exactly the same symptoms it was pretty close and easy to test. I unplugged the 2 upstream sensors the next day and it finally drove down the road like normal. I replaced them both and it's running great now. Thank you!

    Dan H I owe you my thanks, this finally pointed me to my problem on my 98 XJ. Oddly my CEL wouldn't come on when I unplugged the sensor but it behaved just like you said and ran ok when forced to run in "Open Loop" fuel mode.
    One extra thing to be sure - I put my code reader on and used the setting to watch live data and there is was, the o2 was drunk ordering drinks haha and spiking wildly out of expected voltages and messing up the fuel trim % values.
    So I watched this video twice maybe 3 times then had my own battle with it today and won in the end. Bosch o2 in and finalllly behaving after hot starts.
    Much love from Ireland and keep up the good work!

    I can not believe this is working so far. I have a 99 Cherokee XJ and it was cutting out, rough idle and very intermittent. I did the cap and rotor, it needed it, crank sensor, cause my scan tool showed it dropping out on the graph, and now I watch this and so far it runs fine. In COLLEGE, Associate in Automotive Science, the book says that a car will go into open loop when it throws an emissions code. SOOOO, in theory it should not effect the running of the engine because it is in open loop running a predetermined set of parameters. Followed your tips and so far so good. Thank you for posting this and now I can get my Jeep back on the trail.

Not sure if you ever did that but it wasn’t fun. Anyway after I dropped the exhaust to put the new ones in, I noticed I had the same issue that you did in the beginning of your video along with a P0170 code. Turns out I must have messed up the o2 sensor working in that area. Fix one thing, break another. Sounds about right for me. Thanks for the helpful tips as always

    I had this exact same problem in my 97 ZG. I was 1000km from home when it started using double the normal fuel consumption and running poorly. Dropped it into the Jeep service centre when I was near home. Left it there for 2 months and no-one could figure out the problem. The scanner didn't show up the error. It was destined for the junk pile but I took it home and after weeks of trying everything, I eventually unplugged the oxygen sensor and it instantly started running normally. Nice vid, too bad this all happened to me a few years ago when this info was not available!

    Hi Dan, I have a suggestion. Your videos have helped me with EVERY project I’ve undertaken so far (right down to re-soldering the driver-side master window switch!)with my ‘97 ZJ.....with one exception. Fueling my ZJ is a real chore due to the fact the pump nozzle shuts off every ten seconds. It might go a little longer if I adjust the angle, pull up or down, or back it out a little. After watching a few RUclips vids it’s apparent there’s an obstruction somewhere but I won’t attempt tracking it down until I’ve seen you do it! Thanks! KS

      Check the charcoal unit. When you fill the tank the air displaced by the fuel vents through the charcoal unit (to absorb hydrocarbons in that air). On another off-roader the air vent from the charcoal unit was dangling down and got full of mud, so air couldn’t flow out and hence petrol pump shut off very quickly. We cleaned out the charcoal unit and vent tube and back to normal. Also rerouted that tube to be less likely to get submerged 😊

    I had the same problem with the cheaply made 02 "wrench" I went and got the deepwell socket style now and man what a difference. Couldn't help but notice you have the "pre-cat" Y-pipe (CA/NY emission system) Take care not to damage that Y-pipe as there are none in existence any more and no aftermarket units exist. Had to use the "Federal Emissions" pipe (non-pre-cat) and had so many issues with BOTH the 02 sensors. Went through several different ones until we got the CEL to stop coming on.
    Go Grievous!

I also cut the old one down to get a six sided socket to fit. Had to use the old multi plug and solder it to the new wires but all good and running sweet from cold. Thanks for a great video.

    hello Dan, love your video on this. I'm going through the same issue, I unplugged my o2 sensor and it still runs like crap, would it be my ecu? Replaced intake manifold gasket, gaskets for port fuel injectors top and bottom, fuel pump and fuel filter, mass air flow sensor, pcv valve, spark plugs & ignition coils. Car used to run okay,, Car is not been running well, it sometimes feels like its about to stalls out in idle and drops to 500rpm and engine shakes.
