    2006 2.8 CRD manual loosing power whilst driving

    We had a similar problem with our 05. It turned out that one of the hoses that connected the engine to the intercooler was broken. That was replaced and now it runs fine.

    KJ general reliability information

    We have an 05 with a diesel engine ... currently 200,000+ miles and engine is running fine. Great power. Over 20 mpg in town, 30+ on long drives. We have had problems with the drive train recently and have replaced virtually all of it in the last 3-4 years. Not sure if that's a fluke or...

    2006 2.8 CRD manual loosing power whilst driving

    Thank you. Gotta ask ... what's the intercooler? I've played with engines before, but never a diesel (even though I own two of them).

    Drive Train Issues

    We have a 2005 Liberty with the Diesel engine. Mileage is just over 200,000 miles. Over the last year, we've had quite a few issues with the drive train. In the last year or so, we've had to replace both the front and rear drive lines, the transmission, and it still seems to have drive train...

    2006 2.8 CRD manual loosing power whilst driving

    We have a 2005 Liberty with the Diesel engine and had that problem also. Took it into a mechanic and they noted a hose on the engine (not sure what it did) that was broken. They replaced that hose and everthing went back working fine.

    CRD Not Starting When Hot

    Finally getting back to you on this. Got the crank shaft position sensor changed and have been driving the car now for about 2 weeks with no problems. Hooray!!! While the hot weather seemed to be involved and we have not had any hot weather since we got the rig back, it looks like this did...

    CRD Not Starting When Hot

    Great suggestions. I'm not going to go down the fuel pump road yet. And we'll probably go for the position sensor next ... maybe next week. Thank you!

    My mechanic is working on the fuel filter now. I'll discuss it with him. Thank you!

    CRD Not Starting When Hot

    That sounds like the problem. My mechanic is working on the fuel filter right now, but we have already discussed changing out that position sensor. Great suggestion ... THANK YOU!

    CRD Not Starting When Hot

    My bad ... I responded to you but didn't hit the reply button earlier. So it's down below. I do have another related question: Why would the position sensor not work when hot, but after cooling down, does just fine? Another related thought though ... it runs fine at all speeds when...

    CRD Not Starting When Hot

    My last post was for Billwill. CFarrar: That sounds interesting also. My latest 'investigation' indicates that it is simply engine heat that is causing the problem. Two days ago it was cooler ... and it started up no problem at any time. Today, after running a while this morning, I parked...

    CRD Not Starting When Hot

    We have a 2005 KJ with the CRD engine. For some time now, we've had problems with it starting when the engine is hot ... or if we've parked in the sun in the summer (or winter sometimes). This has been going on for over a year and seems to be getting worse. We've talked to a number of...
