#1 of 2 Gas in engine oil, other issues 99 Trooper by frankjames Sep 03, 2009 (5:00 pm)
My buddy stopped in today to tell me of an issue. He was driving down the interstate doing 70mph all the sudden lost power couldn't go over 60mph pushing the gas to the floor. Limped it home and said he pulled dipstick and smelled gas mixed into engine oil. My first thought was fuel pump but rethinking the situation isn't that fuel injected? So what are my options at this point, fuel injectors stuck open? It was consuming oil prior(I have just done a tiny bit of research today and that is really common) He said it smokes when he starts it(probably from gas mixed with oil). Any help would be appreciated. What could this issue be and what can I do to check some of these things out?
#2 of 2 tested and failed! by frankjames Sep 06, 2009 (4:29 pm)
Pulled all coilpacks, and plugs tested for spark, all six good to go.(Maybe dead cylinder I thought) Pulled fuel injectors all were spraying as specified (One may be stuck open? No) Compression tested and one of the cylinders is only 90PSI, gas must be slipping past the rings. Unfortunate. Now to fix or not to fix, now with 176k is it worth it, trans slippage has been happening as well. May be time for Luke to move on and get a new ride.
