Gents good day.
Thank you for the hospitality.
I'll try make this brief, as I have read countless forums & posts.
Ok 2007 liberty gt "5eat"
Bought this car at a bargain price.
Turbo was shagged - $1100 bucks turbo tech had a vf52 on the shelf.... so I slapped on a brand new snail. Awesome!
Got the car running ... only to find its stuck in limp mode.
Got p1718 with CEL code p0600 & p0700... read alot of info about contradicting theories.. so I proceeded to do:
auto service, oil, filters & flush
Engine service oil, filters and plugs.
Still the car sits in limp mode, (drives normally)
No boost.
Car runs exceptionally well. Not a single leak.
Idles perfectly. Does a cold start with all run ins. Shifts gears smoothly.
Oil temp light flashes (points to the TCU) changed that already)
CEL light stays on solid
Cruise control blinking (obvious reason)
Si drive #s unusable.
I have since replaced all earth wires from engine to chassis ..
Extra heavy duty earth cable from battery-chassis
Extra heavy duty + from battery to alternator
As I have been told it's a bad connection or earth somewhere.
I have also checked all wiring outside the gearbox, under the bonnet. Where the TCU is mounted, with no such win.
I have followed every single forum thread that Google throws at me in relation to this issue with no results.
So I have to prey someone else has an easy fix.
I have an ob2 reader (not a cheap one)
Very mechanically minded.
Have reset codes many times. It just comes straight back
Car is beautiful ... would be a shame to pull it apart.
