Greetings fellas,
I have a '96 Classic w. 4.0l, AW-4 w/ 120-plus miles and just moved to Frederick, MD, where I need a emissions test this month. On que, my check engine light keeps appearing. It seems to go off on a full tank of gas. Here's a few symptoms maybe you can help me with. I just changed my oil a few weeks ago. Put Valvoline max life in (1st time thought I'd try), a can of 6 cyl. Restore, and a bottle of STP injector cleaner. I noticed I smell gas more now. Could it be sludge in the CCV/air hose? No airfilter gunk yet though. Suppose I could open her up and take a look. I also have not changed my OX sensor yet. I changed my plugs, wires, and rotor, etc. at around 100k, so I'm not too concerned there. I'm the only owner and have been ritual w/ most all fixes. I've heared that my gas cap could need replacing maybe too.
Does anyone live outside DC or Balt. that has a OBD II tester who will help me diagnose it? How much is one anyway, maybe I'll buy one. Like most Jeepers, I have little to spend and wrench my own, but want it to be done right w/ as little cash and frustration as my clock is ticking on this emissions test.
Thanks in advance for the help!
