No error "43" for over a year now!
Hi
This is the longest I have gone without error 43, misfire. I have a '97 I6
GC. I have read lots of posts about weak valve springs, and perhaps this is
part of the problem. I noticed last time that I had at least 1/2 quart too
much oil. So I stopped taking my jeep to the local quik oil change shop. I
guess that 10 minute oil change did not give it enough time to drain
properly. So now, I am very careful to not overfill since I do it myself.
I have, at times, just replaced with 5 and 1/2 quarts, and the jeep seems
to run better than ever. If you keep getting error 43 as I have in the
past, check your oil level. Who knows...
what does the group think?

Re: No error "43" for over a year now!
My '97 TJ has gone that long myself only to have the 43 code return. I
can't go along with oil level having anything to do with it. Plus I
have always done my own oil changes with six quarts used to refill it
every time, even during my long periods of no 43 codes.

Re: No error "43" for over a year now!
Hi
OK. Thanks for the reply. Sorry about the duplicate post. It took forever
for my earlier message, and I thought my original post failed for some
reason.
Thanks again for the reply. I'm sure the 43 will come back some time, just
because wires and plugs fail if no other reason. I just thought that
perhaps because my 43 only occurs going uphill under higher rpm, perhaps the
oil was foamed by the crankshaft, lifters collapsing because of it, or just
maybe oil was slung onto the cylinder walls....well... just maybe....
