Out of twn one day , engine light comes on . I took it to mechanic they said O 2 sensors were bad. Had the 2 changed that were bad. Week later i was going to leav out of twn and i went to accelerate on high way and it was really lacking power like it was getting fuel but not going , i looked n mirror and saw big vapor trail behind me ? So i went bk to Tire Kingdom n they said the same o2 sensors werent working that i had replaced. So they thought may be there was something wrong with them so they replacedthem with OEM sensors. Engine light goes out , i leave n get half mile dwn the road and light comes on again only know at stop light its running so rough that it wants to stall , unless i keep idled up. Get bk the computer says the same thing but know it says that Catalytic converter is opperating below thresh hold? So i take it to another place n leav it there while i go to wrk out of twn, and when they looked at it it was doing it , they took valve covers off , fuel injector rails off n checked for clogs , checked for any broken parts in lifters n valve springs , it all ran great ? So i get bk pic up car week later , they asked m what kind of oil i ran n i said 5- 20 full synthetic , they said it may cause i didnt use Mopar quality recomended oil , n plugs. So i went to OEM brand of oil from NAPA , n changed plugs. Engine light was off so i fig i fixid it ! At least know it goes on n off :-) thats better. But not for long , it will do it .The nxt day it doesnt drive it for wk with no problems then bam cant drive it at all.
