My jeep started running rough and stumbling at start up recently. It would also miss and run rough until warmed up. The check engine light came on. I figured it's been a while since it's been tuned up so I didn't think anything of it and ran it for a week until I had time to work on it. It's my daily driver to and from work.
When the check engine light would come on, I'd lose my voltage gauge. I confirmed it was a bad alternator so I replaced it. In the process of changing the alternator, I found the oil pressure sensor hanging. It was broken off. I ordered a new one off Amazon. When I got it, I installed it and fired up the jeep. I have full voltage now so that is fixed.
But now the oil gauge pegs, It's still running like crap and I'm concerned why the oil pressure still reads high. I replaced that sensor, thinking it might be defective, and it's still reading high.
I know I'm telling on myself, but I haven't been very diligent with my oil changes as much as I should be. I've ran it up to 8k miles on ocassion. I run 10-30 Dino in it. A few oil changes ago, I ran synthetic blend. I use Fram ultra filters. Last oil change was done at a 15 minute lube shop with valvoline 10-30 and valvoline filter because I didn't have time to change it myself.
I know I need to get a mechanical gauge on there to verify pressure. But assuming its high, what do you think it could be? I've been told it might be a stuck oil pressure relief valve, but I have no idea where its located on this engine. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
