I should have my '01 done too. Runs pretty good, but has a rough cold start-up and lo rpm isn't very smooth.
What's the expected cost for a tune?

Where are you guys with the mini-cat exhaust manifolds installing the O2 senor? There's practically no room to add one before the mini-cat.
I tried replacing the original and feeding the signal from the AFR gauge back to the stock wiring, but it resulted in O2 sensor error codes every few days, even with a dummy O2 sensor heater wired in.

An large duration cam can throw the PCM a loop... as well as incorrect sized injectors. Cost is typically around $300 + SCT if you want to go that route.

Thats what i would have recommended.. do you know the code?

Mild 4.6 build with Icon pistons, Crower 44243 cam, a little head porting on a 2004 head, stock exhaust to a Borla cat-back system, and still stock air intake. Injectors are Neon 784's that are a little lean at start-up until the injector heater warms up (about 1 minute)....that seems to cause injector heater codes, and sometimes a misfire code. Happens more in winter that summer.

Which SCT product will work with a Jeep? I do have an Innovate Motorsports AF gauge I can do data logging with.
Thanks.

[email protected] contact Ryan I've been talking with him to get my jeep tuned with a real tune ! Believe it's a SCT 3200 but it's no good unless u get a custom tune installed in the device.
