I've noticed that in the past few weeks my idle seems to be slightly rough. I can't really see any change in the tach, but I can feel a slight stumble every 30 seconds.
Here is a little background info:
- My xj has a 133k miles on it, had the spark plugs changed back around 110k or something like that at the jeep dealership(I know I should know exactly when but its my fiance's jeep - I always keep my receipts).
- I had my catalytic convertor stolen at 128k miles and had to drive it home about 30 miles but they didn't damage the 02 sensors when they stole it.
- I had the cyclinder head replaced at 130k miles with a new head from clearwater cylinderhead (but my mechanic didn't change the plugs, or he didnt charge me for them). About 200 miles later I had a valve spring fail and had to drive it home about 5 miles. Got the spring replaced and didn't notice any issues with the idle.
- Been driving it since then and put around 2k on the jeep. The only other thing I can think of is the pigtail for the 02 sensor that is after the muffler (towards exhaust exit) came off it's clip and was banging around. I got under it that night when it happened and just ziptied it back. Didn't look like the wires were damaged but the black mesh sleeve was ripped apart.
Any suggestions on where I should start?
