    Loud rattling noise - top engine

    I have had good luck using Knipex brand pliers to get stubborn bolts like that to loosen. They will grab as long as there is a bit of an edge on the bolt which it looks like there is.

    2004 Liberty sport strangest thing I've ever ran across with car audio

    Was your original radio the premium setup with the amplifiers built into the front door speakers?

    Gap tools and 10mm sockets - can never find one when you need one! :)

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Wired up some switches for some extra lights and such that will be getting installed down the road. I had a box full of extra parts that I got when I bought my truck, including an extra fuse box. So my thinking was why don't I use the empty relay spots in my current fuse box for the new switches...

    Live data p0172 p0175

    Are you checking the voltages with the vehicle running or with just the ignition on and the coil and injectors unplugged?

    Live data p0172 p0175

    Looking back at your data you said the -30 fuel trims were at idle and the -20 on the long term was at cruising speeds - if so what that is telling me is that you have more unburnt fuel at idle then as you add more air it starts to lean out a bit. by the looks of your spark plugs it looks like...

    Live data p0172 p0175

    When you stand behind it when it is running does it smell like raw fuel coming out? If you had bad cats you would see the rear O2 sensor voltages switch like the front ones do. It's a bit of a hard one to diagnose over a computer unfortunately.

    Oil on plug. Chasing codes.

    You could but if you had a bad intake gasket you would have lean codes - basically a vacuum leak. Rich codes can be caused by a bad airflow sensor(which our trucks don't have), upstream O2 fault, map sensor reading, coolant sensor reading out of whack, faulty purge valve, restriction in the...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I am a mechanic so I do everything on the hoist at work - haven't even tried to work on the Liberty on the ground yet :)

    Oil on plug. Chasing codes.

    Rich codes - does your scan tool show data? Be interested to see what the fuel trims are when driving.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    It was really easy to do as my truck still has the bolt on flange. It is easier to get the old system out in one piece if you have the car on a hoist or jack stands so you can lower the rear axle.

    Oil on plug. Chasing codes.

    It's probably just burning some coolant out of the exhaust from when you pulled the head off.

    You have new head bolts right? Are they Fel-Pro?

    Weird creaking noise passenger rear

    My guess would be you are hearing the control arm mount flexing due to the lack of metal around it.
