2006 jeep liberty dying randomly. Oil change and new air filter. About to change spark plugs and wires. No gauge lights, no sputtering. Just turns off randomly, starts right back up when I put in neutral and re-start.

My 2006 Liberty has a similar issue. The oil light beeps and then the engine shuts off. I put the car in park and it restarts and the oil light goes off. I had the oil, filter, and lines checked and everything checked out. The mechanic thinks it may be the oil sensor going out and that for safety reasons the engine shuts down when the oil light comes on.

SOURCE: turns over then dies right away.

check spark plug wires to make sure they"re not miss-routed... start at the coils and work towards the plugs make real sure its got correct firing order sequence... it is usually posted on a label under the hood of most cars and also make sure they have a real good snap on connection both on coil and plugs and that the terminal posts on the coils are really clean! if this doesn't fix the problem then it probably is a timing chain problem..it might not be installed correctly. good luck to you! i hope its just a miss wire.
can you give me some feed back..i'm curious..thanks! a 40k mile car shouldn't need this kind of work..its practically brand new!!

SOURCE: 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee dies while driving

If the ignition turns on and dies while driving, you might have a clogged idle air control valve. The valve is located in the throtle body, just below the air intake hose. Locate the idle air control valve, un plug the connector, unscrew it (you will need star screw driver) and next clean it using an electronic contact cleaner spray, I use 3M for that. Next, make sure all cleaning liquid inside is gone (it evaporates quickly) and re assemble it. This should solve your problem once for all.

SOURCE: 93 mustang lx turns over

I suggest you check for spark by taking a spark plug wire off one of the spark plugs and using one of your old plugs and crank it over and see, it wouldn't be the first time a module died on a Ford. Plus if you have a fuel pressure tester hook it up and check for proper pressure if no gauge just shoot a couple of squirts of engine start or carb spray in the intake if it starts something wrong with your fuel system recheck wiring conections if you don't hear fuel pump, turn on key from 3 to 5 seconds fuel pump should run to prime fuel rail then stop, if not check fuel system.

2006 jeep liberty sputters when driving, what is going on with it

Go over the basics- check air filter and spark plugs (make sure the gap is still within specs).
Trade it for a Honda CRV.

When I am accelerating the car sputters and dies some time if you can keep it idling about 1 rpm it might not die but it still sputters. if at a stop light it will sputter and quite. The car restarts.

Sound like it needs a tune up, replace spark plugs check high tension cables , make sure there is a good spark to the plugs, clean or replace air filter, replace fuel filter , check fuel pressure and flow. check fuel injectors for leaks.

How do i perform a tune up on a 2003 jeep liberty sport V-6 2WD do i just replace the spark plugs because I haven't worked on a jeep before please help?

That is about it, Spark plugs are rare, they go 100,000 miles, plus, now days, air filter, oil, belts, fluids. Belts get checked, but only get replaced at 60,000. That is about it. Hope this helps.

Random misfires are some of the trickiest problems to solve, usually an ignition system problem a bad or weak coil pack or possibly a spark plug wire. If not the ignition system then surely a clogged injector.

Sounds like a fuel/air problem. Replace fuel filter, check/replace air filter and spark plugs, complete the tuneup and see what happens. If it still happens then suspect injectors. Run cleaner through a tank of gas. If still the same take it to a shop that can plug into your vehicle and verify injectors performance.
