95legwagon Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 fuel pressure regulator? sounds definitly fuel related..... whats the exhaust smell like? does it burn ur eyes/nose? if its backfiring theres raw fuel going into the exhaust..... maybe check the timing? bad timing could cause this too..... too many possibilities.....those are the two i wouldve checked initially along with the usual tuneup yada yada lol hope this helps a lil bit i think there real i was looking through that guys stuff he sells and it looks like he finds stuff at auctions and just sells it Yea, it looks like someone got the mids about a month ago....shit.

Redcorn245 Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 BTW, Wix part number on the fuel filter is 33929 if you feel like continuing to just throw parts at it although with it being a little more complex than just a filter, i would suggest getting an OE part. . I'd personally be taking a real close look at the crank position sensor. i changed the cps Salvage yard PCM by chance? Chrysler computers are HUGE pieces of shit i had a remanufactured one sent with all updaded programming and it did the same thing. my wire harness was touching the exhaust manifold and starting to melt wires, i secured that and it seems to run alot smoother lol idk this american junk is making me wonder why i ever traded my integra for it lol so you replaced all the wires? if it already started to melt wires, that could be your problem all together. no i havent replaced any wires yet but i moved ithe harness away from the exhaust manifold and it hasnt really done it so im thinkning maybe it was shorthing out touching the metal exhaust manifold?

MuRKRoW Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 i think it was the wire harness touching the exhaust manfiold. it melted the insulation off one of the wires and it was shorting out a wire.exhaust smells normal. i turned it on and smacked the cat a couple times and heard some shit bouncing around in there so i think the cat is still good lol There's not supposed to be anything "bouncing around" in the catalytic converter... the catalysts should not move around in the housing because they can block the exit if they turn sideways. Read this: http://auto.howstuff...uestion4821.htm if you want more info on what they are. I would bring it to an exhaust shop immediately and have them look it over/test it. That's just me though...

EDIT: "A totally clogged converter causes the engine to quit after a few minutes because of all the increased exhaust back pressure." if there are ceramic beads in the cat wont they move around when you hit the side of the cat? And of corse this fine piece of american shit has three cats lol.ill just go get a pressure gause and test the pressures before and after each cat i guess. but i really dont think its the cats becasue it would do it all the time. this only happens when i first get in to drive it when its been sitting.

b-dubs89 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 probably want to have someone who knows what they're doing get you a diagnosis before you go sticking any more parts into her .just because you have a code pertaining to the o2 sensor doesn't mean that the o2 sens is the problem . one of the problems with obd 1n2 and electronics is that the code , the data still has to be interpreted , to do this you must understand to some degree how everything on a vehicle works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me try and explain this little better. My jeep was indicating to me by its actions that it quite posibbky could be something simple that was wrong with it. So if i can fix the problem with a simple sensor with out paying a another mechanic to use his diagnostics tool and then pay him out the ass for the part. Why wouldnt i try????

Why wouldnt i try???? thats not what i am saying . i don't own a scan tool ether , i use oriellys when i do need one , that is nether here nor there .the service manual has more usefull information in the introduction than i have gotten from a scan tool. don't be a parts mechanic . if you don't know what your problem is don't replace parts and see if it gets solved . from what i seen you could 1 of many possible problems rangin from vac leak to bad fuel regulator to clog catalytic converter . if you understand what your are doing it shouldn't be too complicated to solve . but it really doesn't sound to me like you know exactly what your problem is , i don't ether . have a few ideas like the rest of the people here . no offense intended , so please don't take any . have no idea about your mechanical ability .
