2006 tj wrangler.

Ok so I am going to try to explain this the best I can, but I recently noticed that my jeep is running like its in 4wd. The engine runs louder and sounds like I'm in 4H but I'm not I have to shift gears earlier and gas mileage has decreased. Everything is running ok but I don't know what it could be. The engine before ran quieter and didn't sound like a diesel. Anyone have any suggestions on what it could be.

sounds like a crankshaft positioning sensor issue. when mine was going out it had a very eratic idle and gas mileage was way down. Loss of power is due to the lack of timing control.

Cheap fix???

I think the sensor is under 50. It's located on the high side of the outer ring of the bell housing on the driver side.

[REDxj5150]

actually under 20!

Do you guys recommend a Place where I can get this fixed if that is the problem

It's pretty easy to do it your self, but G&G will figure it out for sure and fix it up.

We can diagnose it for $89 or less. That's cheaper than throwing parts at it that might or might not solve the problem. It doesn't sound like a crank sensor to me, but I don't really know what it sounds like. It's pretty difficult to explain a symptom like that, it needs to be driven. I assume no check engine light?
