I have a new problem after doing the exhaust manifold gasket and everything else I did.
My jeep now idles bad. When I first start it it will idle fine for anywhere from 10 seconds to 30 seconds. Then it will idle down really low and will almost die. Then it will pick back up. It then will idle low and lope again. Repeat. Sometimes though it will sort of even out. If I cut the jeep off and start it right back then the low idle will come right back. And it has died twice.
Quick list of what I did and what's new.
1. New exhaust manifold gasket
2. 746 injectors
3. Cleaned TB & IAC (carb cleaner)
4. New down pipe
5. New flange gasket
6. New vacuum harness
7. Cruiser tip 31
All sensors worked before so I don't see how it's any sensors. One day it was fine and then I did the above and put back together and now it idles horribly. I was wondering if maybe I damaged the EgR on the side of the intake manifold. Maybe it's stuck now. I am going to try to check it. Can the egr be by passed?
I am currently still running nothing after the down pipe. Never have since day 2 and before I had part of my exhaust manifold gasket blew out. But I never ever had this problem until now. I am so disappointed that I tried fixing stuff and now it caused this.
