Hey guys,
My jeep has been running poorly on and off for the last 3 months. when i go around sharp left hand turns, the engine starts to die out. Then i let my foot off the gas, and shes fine again. The first time this happened I was heading back to college, it happened on a mountian road after a hard left turn. It would start to die out, then i would down shift and it was OK. On the interstate, if i kept it at the same RPM it would eventually start to do the same thing. At first, down shifting fixed it but eventually she wouldnt even move in first gear. I pulled over and revved the engine while nuetral. It got to 2000 rpm and started to sputter. I got towed home, but the next morning everything was fine??
I am guessing it something in the tranny, which is automatic. If i am traveling on most roads around 40-60, if the tranny needs to downshift, this is when it acts up. But if the tranny gets a sudden downshift, everything is fine.
I ran the jeep with a fuel pressure gage and that is all OK. it stayed around 50 psi the entire time.
I have heard probelms with the crank position sensor
there is an O2 sensor code coming with the check engine light. I ran the code and its basically saying my Catallytic converter is bad...no help there.
ANY IDEAS???
I've been troubleshooting this for the past 3 months but really need some help
Thank you
