I live in northern Maine, so it has been exceptionally cold up here (as most of the country). The Jeep hasn't really had any issues, but the last few mornings when I've started it, it catches for a half second then dies, but goes on teh second attempt no problem. I attributed it to the cold.
Today, I was cruising along at 35, nothing special, when it starts to sputter a bit and hesitant to speed up. Light comes on, starts blinking quickly, and I pull over and run the codes. 0204 and 0304. I would not be surprised if it was summer and I had heatsoak issues, but its 3* outside. I pop the hood and poke around, everything seems connected and visually fine. I start it up, no problem, runs fine again for a couple of miles, then same issue. I got a ride home because I didnt want to kill the CC, but where should I start since its so darn cold out? I have to limit my exposure since I dont have a garage and am on a budget. Should I just replace the injector and inspect the wiring? or should I look into the check valve first? is my difficulty starting from the cold or is it related? Thanks
