2001 Automatic
Driving home from work yesterday morning, -4° , my rig started running a little rough and the check engine light started flashing. At this point it started limiting rpm's at 3000.
Three codes came up on the scanner.
Gross evap leak (that I've been trying to chase down for a year)
Misfire #3 cyl
Misfire #5 cyl
The Jeep is not hard to start, it does appear to have lost a bit of power. It idles a little rough and the check engine light doesn't start to flash until RPMs exceed 3K and the rev limiter kicks in and then it continues to flash.
Thinking it may be ice in the fuel line I filled it up with non ethanol gas to no avail.
There are two precipitating factors I can think of.
One is the cold
Two the fact I flushed the heater core Sunday and got water, antifreeze and Vinegar all over everything in the pass side off the engine.
My planned next move is to remove cool packs, inspect spark plugs and clean connections.
Thoughts?
