A time to die.
The answer is neither. I pulled a used engine out of newer model, why? The total budget for this car was $1500. I paid 700 for the 02 limited. Took a chance on it becouse first and for most it was clean for its age and location. Yes the bottom of the doors are somewhat gone and so are the...- KidsKJ02

A time to die.
This is so true. It’s great little car and all but was alway meant to be a throw away suv in my opinion. Where I live there is only one very small mopar dealer that only moves a few new cars a year that said they only put on there lot what they feel like putting on there lot, which isn’t much at...- KidsKJ02

A time to die.
I would and I have in the very beginning, when I was comparing options and making a plan but the numbers have had to make sense from day one and of all the builders out there jasper doesn't advertise there prices, and like the old saying goes: if you have to ask, you can’t afford it, lol...- KidsKJ02

A time to die.
After a year of intensive work on the kids kj with no end insight I believe it’s finally time to stop throwing away money. I’ve read through hours of posts on this forum with much succes and alot of great advice, but I don’t think this one was meant to be. Long story short or if you’ve read...- KidsKJ02

PCM replacement suggestions.
Good day, I believe I’m in need of a new PCM for my 2002 limited. Does anyone have any experience with a plug and play unit say from flgaship1 or similar? I bought a salvage one from eBay and had planned on bringing it to the dealer to have it programmed to my vin however, I didn’t get a...- KidsKJ02

Another No Crank No Start
It was not the ignition switch. I took it apart twice inspected and tested it, everything looks and functions fine. I did replace the starter and solonoid and ran a 2G ground wire from starter to frame, the issue became far less frequent and predictable but still there, I traced all ignition...- KidsKJ02

Another No Crank No Start
Agreed, as I have nothing else to go off of. I just swapped the Solonoid with a replacement and added extra heat sheild to it however, haven’t had the opportunity to test it yet. Took it for a short test ride after this job and it threw a misfire code again, so it’s parked for a couple more...- KidsKJ02

Random multiple error codes and noise after engine replacement.
Hmm perhaps? So there is a very common issue with these ignition switches whereas an internal piece breaks off rendering the same symptoms. Although I haven’t inspected mine yet, as I would think if it were that it would be a constant fail not intermittent especially when The engines hot. Yes...- KidsKJ02

Random multiple error codes and noise after engine replacement.
Also for what it’s worth and my slow posting. I have killed all the random error codes with all new sensors however my issue now is a completely random intermittent no crank no start but… only when the motor is warmer up and been drivin for some time. It fires up no problem on a cold engine but...- KidsKJ02

Random multiple error codes and noise after engine replacement.
I wish it were that easy however, the different years have differn pcms. The 02 is a 3 pin and the 04 is 4 pin. I have since bought a salvage PCM from eBay for the 02 however, getting it flashed to my vin/skim is while other story. The one Chrysler dealer where I live doesn’t want to just do...- KidsKJ02

Ok so this one is a bit different than the others listed. Long story short, I swapped the 02 engine with an 04, I swapped over the crank reluctor ring, jtec cam sprocket and every sensor there is. After hunting down gremins for months the car runs really well! I have approx 1100miles after...- KidsKJ02

Engine replacement checklist KJ 2002 2003 and maybe 2004
Again, I apologize for delayed response time as I don’t get the time I wish I could on this project. So I did infact order and replace all O2’s the MAP and the CPS from the crown site provided, thank you. After about 150 miles on the road after replacing all the sensors, I’m still in the clear...- KidsKJ02

Random multiple error codes and noise after engine replacement.
I do apologize for the long response times, I really don’t get alot of time for this project. Ok, so last action I simply replaced all the O2’s and the MAP and yet another aftermarket CPS that came highly recommended from this site (crown). After another 130 miles still no O2 sensor errors so...- KidsKJ02

Engine replacement checklist KJ 2002 2003 and maybe 2004
Yes, the original motor had a detonated piston with quite a bit of damage in #2 cylinder, so after I put a proper plug in, it was billowing white smoke, (the seller tried hiding the dead cylinder by crushing the spark plug gap so it wouldn’t fire). So yeah I didn’t think about the o2,s getting...- KidsKJ02

Random multiple error codes and noise after engine replacement.
ok, so I did replace the timing chains, guides and tensioners, all torqued down to factory spec. I ran the motor 3 seperate times not more than a minute a piece with the contaminated oil, however 1. The noise did persist before I contaminated it and 2. If it were infact bearing damage you...- KidsKJ02

Random multiple error codes and noise after engine replacement.
Hi all, Wasn’t sure if anyone is still working on these 1st gens and just saw that some are! So I posted a thread several months ago about swapping engines from an 04 sport into an 02 limited, took forever as I only get a couple hours a week for this project and everything that could go wrong...- KidsKJ02
