depending on year, you are allowed to fail a certain amount of emission monitors.  Enough of the monitors must be set to pass plug in.  if they are not set, it doesn't necessarily cause a CEL.  My ZJ has 6 i believe.

you driving around at greater than 1/2 tank just means the jeep has not run the emissions test yet.

id suspect gross evap leak will be the code.  check hoses on canister system, gas cap, ect.

unplugging the battery hurts you here as all the monitors are reset and need to re perform the tests and self pass.

Well, on one hand I don't care. Got my shiny new inspection sticker before she CELd me. But I really dislike the sudden loss of power and rough running (remember the 2k cough post LCA? Worse now).

I'll run it to my local guy tonight and get the codes. Then decide the next step.

Actually I need to get a raspberry pi and get the AVR to forward the codes for automatic lookup and display. But it is all packed up. Local guy is good enough for now...

Why do it simple when you can make it "engineered"?

If it comes out, easy.  If it doesn't, cut and weld.

BAH!!


Front passenger wheel seemed to be "dragging" on full lock to the right. Looked under and discovered the tire is making contact with the lower control arm. Driver side has tons of clearance. Looks like adjustable track bar is next on my list.

Great idea. Too bad the idiots at work seem to want to challenge me to practice for Rausch using their Priuses (WTF is the plural for Prius?).


I would have expected a visible offset of the tires to the driver side ...
