Get one from the dealer if you have the scratch.

 

If it was me, I'd unload that POS and buy me a 3rd Gen CTD... LOL...

(That was your post in the 3rd Gen Section, wasn't it???)

 

Lol! Yes, but can't unload it like this.

TPS voltage high? Should I replace?

 

You getting a CEL?

 

O2 precat, #8 misfire, clock spring or something like that. Was told its in the steering wheel an distributes power.

Changed cap, rotor, and wires. Disconnected battery and went for a ride. Still have slight hesitation, but a HUGE improvement. O2 sensor still stuck...I'm sure changing it will help with the hesitation. Needed new wires anyways and I'm glad I checked the cap. I replaced it last year with el cheapos, not knowing any better, all contacts were corroded. Needless to say, she runs damn well now. A2ny suggestions on what else I should do? Thanks!

 

Those could be indicating a big ugly expense -- if your plenum was throwing oil into the chambers and clogged the cat after fouling the oxygen sensor, a #8 misfire is common and a sign of a cracked head. Time for compression/leakdown tests to find out.

If your oxygen sensor is still the one you couldn't get out, you're going to have to get it swapped out somehow. Running around with a failed pre-cat O2 is hard on the engine and costly at the gas pump, too.

 

Thanks for giving me a direction to go. Im gonna get that out today.

 

Yeah, post cat O2s are basically nuisance CELS but pre-cats are a big deal. PCM relies on info from that for mix, timing, etc. Get that one changed out.

As for the misfire on #8, yep I'm afraid that's an indicator of a head issue either with the gasket or an actual cracked head.

Clock springs are cheap but they are a PIA to replace and you need a steering wheel puller. Last one I did was in a 2002 Grand Cherokee, took me most of a day...

 

Even if its intermittent? The CEL comes and goes. Could the misfire be more likely from the bad o2?
