so I traded my 95 yj that needed nothing but upgrades for a 98 xj since my wife kept telling me that I needed a family car to haul my son around in and the yj wasnt safe enough or had a/c.
well since day one I have had issues with it, thankfully the dealer is taking care of all of it but the inconvience is starting to tick me off now.
day I picked it up all the gauges stopped working, fixed the wiring behind the dash and they started working again. picked it back up and the oil pressure wouldnt hold steady so they changed the oil and it held higher but not where is should be. Drove it home from the dealer, it keeps trying to die on me and the next morning it does die on me leaving for work but does start back up. Take it back and they replace the IACV and it is better but not good. Take it back the next day and they replace the TPS still not perfect. I leave and drive it for a day drain the gas and refill it just to make sure it wasnt old gas in there. Starts running better but still not great and here comes the oil pressure gauge bottoming out and not holding pressure at all so I take it back for what seems like the 100th time and they replace the oil pump and driving it back home the pressure still wont hold. Now before I take it back again what else could it possibly be?
Wont hold oil pressure driving it will stay good but as soon as I let off the gas it drops way down.
runs rich
idles ok but seems like it has a miss
Appears CEL light has been pulled, ran the scanner and it pulled the O2 sensor bank 2 which will make it run rich but no point to replace it the cat is gone. also pulled the TPS code again but never cleared after the new one was put in. Last code was the fuel sending unit.
I talked to the owner of the dealer and he said something along the lines that if the oil pump didnt fix the problem we would look into putting me into another vehicle
should I keep what seems to be a headache or get into something else
