Howdy folks,
I just dropped a couple grand on my KJ CRD that was giving me some issues shifting in and out of 2nd gear in both directions, and the front wheel bearings needed to be replaced, since they were starting to make some noise at 135K miles. This rig has given me no trouble at all, and deserved the investment. So we ended up replacing solenoids and pressure transducer and filters and the guy tells me there was a cam or crank out of sync code, and if that happens sometimes folks think it's the transmission. I do take it off road, and pull a trailer occasionally so I don't mind putting in the money to keep it running. So after a week at the shop, upon driving it back to work after picking it up, I'm driving into the parking lot and it starts making a loud noise, kind of like the noise it made when the turbo hose ripped. I was where I needed to be, so I parked and went back to work. Four hours later I pick up my daughter then we drove home 30 miles away, no issues, she's running like a champ. The next day on the way in, in the morning, after driving 20 minutes at 72 MPH and maybe a couple of stop lights, as I try to accelerate I realize that there is no power. Well since I wasn't at work yet, my daughter and I (momma had the other vehicle at the airport as she was out of town on business) swapped the jeep for the VW at work and I took her to school and came back. I got a work buddy to drive behind me at lunch as I took the jeep home. It ran fine for 15 minutes then suddenly it had no power. Now this trip home was uphill and at the steepest portion I was able to maintain 55 MPH and even accelerate to 60 by the peak of the hill. Down hill on the way home I didn't have to push to maintain 75 MPH, but the throttle input was nearly maxed out the entire trip after the first 15 minutes.
Once home I went out the next day, Saturday with the Mrs. home, and started it up to listen to what was going on and it ran for 15-20 seconds and then stopped. It hasn't run since, but it cranks like a maniac. I purchased an analyzer and found that modules $12 and $41 are not responding, and I had a code P0093 that the manual says is excess fuel rail pressure over and above what was expected, but the analyzer says is a major fuel leak. I don't believe there's a fuel leak, nothing's wet. I read on this forum that the cam and crank position sensor failures won't allow the engine to start but won't throw a code (which contradicts what the guy at the tranny shop said: that there was an indication that they weren't seeing the same RPMs), so I changed them. Still nothing.
Does anyone have any ideas? What is the $41 module?
Thanks for any help. In the meantime, I've washed my hands and will
for the evening.Thanks,
Don
