After a lengthy day of city driving and short-lived rainstorm I arrived home to pack for a July 4th weekend trip. After packing the Liberty, I jumped in and tried to start the vehicle several times. Each time all dashboard lights come on, radio, headlights, etc. are good. I eliminated the battery as a issue anyway with a brand new replacement hoping for a quick resolution. No luck. Put vehicle in reverse and let roll down small-grade driveway to a stop to clear daughter's car. Just for fun, I tried to start the car again and "magic" the car starts for the 3 additional attempts. Drove around the block and seemed good to go until the fourth attempt when it refused to start again. I suspect respositioning of the vehicle on manual reverse helped but I can't replicate and didnt know why. The Haynes repair manual indicates an engine-wont-start condition if the transmission is not in park or neutral but doesn't provide a great test of the problem. Has cable adjustment ever shown to be the answer for this sort of problem. I've checked all the apparently relevant fuses and all appear good. Any help would be greatly appreciated! I failed to mention that the Liberty has 85K miles on it.
Thanks.
Also, I like to top out my speedometer sometimes, but will doing this cause me to blow the transmission? As of now, the only "upgrades" that i have are a K&N Performance Air Filter, and some Champion Spark Plugs, so I have no MAJOR horsepower gain other than that of the stock. In future, I plan on getting a Magnaflow Performance exhaust (dual) and a K&N Air Intake system. So that will add some more horsepower.
Finally, do you guys know of any good performance chips that work well with the '07 Libby? Thank you!

Good luck with your Liberty!
Did you ever find out what this was? I have the exact same smell, snuffed out candles. I'm afraid its my clutch, but I'm really not sure. What have you found out?

Is this a common problem and how do I fix it?
Any Ideas?
P.S. I have 182,000 miles with no trouble up till now.
Anyone else have this problem
its a 2004 liberty with 3,7 and 55000 kilometers on it
H having having having valves go bad and they know about it but refused to issue a recall. Our valve went bad after 70000 miles and Chrysler Jeep refused to help out. We bought car new and engine went out. Worst mistake we ever made. We discovered other people also having problem but Chrysler keeping it quiet so don't have to help people. Never buy Jeep or Chrysler products. They are lieing to public and not reporting these issues.tell as many people as you know.The jeeps 2002 thru 2006 are having valves go bad and they know about it but refused to issue a recall.

The reason im asking is why does the light go out when you turn it off and start the engine again
What im thinking if the valves were gone I would here a ticking and it should blow smoke out the [non-permissible content removed] end and run rough but mine runs smooth
Is it possible it could be an electrical problem also
I am a tech but I work on trucks and diesel equipment but I will see if I can get to the bottom of this problem through a few tech buddies
I will post back and let you know what the results are
Thanks for your fast response
Then, yesterday I was driving to a job interview and noticed a loud, rhythmic squeaking coming from the same tire. After several miles, I slowed to make an exit and the noise stopped. However, I continued to notice odd noises, simliar to metal hitting metal at random times on the way home. Any ideas?? I can't afford a major fix, but sure don't want to ruin my Jeep!
I called another dealer who informed me that Jeep/Chrysler is aware of the problem as it has been ongoing with the Liberty's. I called in a case to Jeep/Chrysler today. I am expecting a call back from them tomorrow. I'll let you know how this plays out.
I can understand why it might run when on Defrost but why when full heat directed to floor. Both my 2005 and 2006... Help Help Help
Today I am going to a local dealership (something I swore never to do again) and check out a new Liberty. I won't bother to ask the service advisers a question because they have proven not to have a clue about anything. They will want me to have a $100 diagnosis.
Be nice if there was a MoPar website where you could have a live chat with a knowledgeable person.
I think the answer is going to be, never select the floor only position.
I wonder if you have found the problem. This has happen to me three times this year. It was today, a week and two weeks a ago. Also, happend two times last year. Today, i went to the bank and after trying to start the jeep again, it tried but the gas gauge was marking as empty. The fuel pump was changed three days ago. So, do you have any findings?
Thx.
Turned off ignition and waited 3 minutes and got a normal restart. Check engine light was now on. Drove to my great independent garage and owner did the $85 test. Indication was that the Air Flow Value out of range, Fault code P0101. Indicating Mass Air Flow Sensor Not reading Air flow Properly. Ordered new sensor which is just 2 screws mounted directly after the air filter. 10 minutes labor $42.
Drove 2 days no lite no problems. Technition said the sensor airflow readings at idle were 9.0 g/s after a while readings spontaneously changed to 17.80 g/s still at idle. Sensor was telling injector that a lot of air was entering engine when it was not and the injector was flooding engine with fuel. Replaced sensor and drove 1,500 miles at high speed for 2 days. Leaving a stop light, I floored the acclerator, turbo spooled up and engine lite went on. Went back to garage and they showed the same sensor but then decided that their diagnosis computer was not up to date.
Killed the light and everything has been normal for two days with no jack rabbit starts. Waiting for new program to be installed to rediagnose to see if there are other problems.
Replaced Fuel Filter (I supplied from NAPA for $20 instead of $48 from dealer.
Labor for fuel filter, sensor, testing total $321 so far.

This thing is like waiting for the next shoe to fall, I am about to take the plunge and get it away from me.
Have an 05 CRD with the Italian engine. With no modifications we're getting between 24 and 29 MPG. The engine light has been on since the dealer changed the oil @ 3000 miles we now have about 70K.
I've not checked mine for black substance on the Tubo? but I'll ask my mechanic and get back to you.
Truly a good auto!!">
