    Help diagnosing bad fuel economy + engine lights

    Help diagnosing bad fuel economy + engine lights

    Hello, This is my first time posting here. I have an 04 liberty with 110k miles, and a few months ago I started getting really bad gas milage accompanied by an engine light. The engine light goes on and off. Usually it will come on for about 300 miles, then go off for 50-100, then come back on...
