Yeah don't go home without money or a fix. Your vehicle running worse after being worked on is not normal. Face to face time.

 

It's a mechanic that doesn't work from a shop. He drives to your house nd does the work there. He is being professional about everything. Says that if problems continue after 100 miles he will fix the issue.

 

Is he going to buy you a new engine when it explodes? Fix it now.

 

He doesn't sound very professional to me if he's telling you that a vehicle runs worse after a tune up. Sounds more like he's giving you the run around. I bet that if you call him once you hit 100 mile you won't be able to get a hold of him, He will stop answering all of your calls or his number will be disconnected.

 

Define professional.

 

When your engine explodes, there is a convenient forum for parting out your jeep here.

 

it does take time for the ECU to adapt to new sensors but it shouldnt be that bad. something isnt proper in the situation, and to reiterate someone elses statement, if he has a boss call them and complain and either get a chilton's or take it to a reputable mechanic.

the best things in life come from hard work and perseverance!

 

Great! Thanks for stressing my life a little more.

 

What should it be doing? How should it be running?

 

You can drive around with your oil sender unplugged.
It has no function in engine management and the ECU does NOT have to get used to this new sensor.

The only time the ECU actually has to 'learn', is after reset, or when you have had your battery unplugged for a certain time. And even in this case, the ECU runs of preset programms, finding the most suitable till it has seen x times starting cycles (20 or 50 or something, it doenst matter for now).

Your engine was running fine before the tune-up and now it doesn't. Make work of it, check the leads, see if all things have been connected correctly, check your plugs (which ones have been installed, and have they been properly gapped?) etc etc and visit that mechanic once more.
But DO NOT buy crap...

 

What am i looking for in the leads and what is the proper gapping

 

so you used a street mechanic?

Never a good idea... always do stuff like this yourself...

I just did the exact same tune up you did... even the oil pressure sending unit... +more... guess what?

she purred like a kitten! what is happening to you is NOT normal.

 

spark plug gap is .035 what brand did you use? guys around here seem to have good results from the stock champion copper plugs..

checking wire leads is pulling each wire off... checking inside them to make sure they are not damaged.. and re seating them and making sure that they snap onto the cap and plug.. might throw a little dielectric grease in there while you have them off if they don't already have it

I would also pull the distributor cap and rotor and make sure there is no damage..

Did he purchase the parts or did you? what brands did you go with?

This could be a fault with his workmanship, or with the part/s themselves

 

^this...also check your plug wires with a meter, just a visual may not reveal damage.

 

He purchased them for me from AutoZone. I did get the champion cooper plugs with bosch wiring set. Dielectric grease was used in the process. Guess i have to check for wire placement, cap and rotor for damage, and wires are snapped on. Also have to see if my valve cover gasket was sealed on right.
