I went snow wheeling today and got into a bit of a pickle...the trail I was on suddenly got bad because whoever had plowed it decided to stop, and there was nowhere to turn around. I had to reverse out for about half a mile in 4wd spinning the tires a fair bit and going from fwd gears to reverse again to correct myself because it was impossible to stay in the tracks.
Once I got out of there and turned around the Jeep had gotten pretty hot doing all that work. I shut it off for a while and walked the dog down another trail. when i got back and fired it up it ran really shitty for a minute and the CEL came on. I had to get it down the mountain and by the time I did it seemed to be running fine so I drove it home.
I'm gonna try to find somewhere to read my code tomorrow morning but I'm very impatient...does this sound familiar or point to anything in particular?
Is this common?
Did I break my Heep?
I hate not knowing...I will probably buy myself a cheap scan tool now.
Thanks for the help.:gee:
