Had 20 miles left until empty. Thought it was a good time to run in the gas station and get a fuel injector cleaner.
Looked for the one that specifically said put in when empty.
Poured in, put $40 in tank. Drove fine for a day.
Then sat for a day.
Then today I start driving, roads are slick, and it feels like there is a traction control problem. Shaky when hitting gas. Shaky idle.
The light is related to the engine/trans. I looked it up and it said possible problems are a gas cap that is loose, POOR FUEL QUALITY, etc.
I do not think this is a new problem, or just a coincidence. I think it is related to the fuel injector being put in a couple days prior.
I know nothing about fixing trucks/cars.
Any possible solutions. It even has the trans acting funny and switching gears funny. Not too terrible, just a little stall feeling from 1st to 2nd...
The yellow light on dash is flashing.
THERE ARE 170K on the JEEP! Got the top quality oil put in the other day and it drove the best it ever drove thus far. Just flawless. Purred, quiet, sounded strong.
This is the limited edition, and on a good note, the gas mileage went to 14mpg. It has been around 12 to 13 which is extremely strange. That is the reason behind wanted to put gumout in it.
Wife is the daily driver. Saw it at 12 for a while. I drove it for 30 minutes and it approached 13....Never came anywhere near 14 and now it is at 14.0!
But drives bad now.
What do you think, something involving a fuel injection cleanse? :shrug:
