glad to be a part of this forum. i have heard good things about this place. i have a 2008 jeep patriot 2.4l 5 speed with 196,678 miles and a bunch of fault codes i don't know where to start lol. first i will say i have a code reader scan tool, and i have found most of the issues, that being said i don't know how to go about solving theses issues. to give everyone an idea of what im dealing with here are my codes.

1)po404
2)c1704
3)c1504
4)c1620
5)po4aa
6)b2aaa
7)p2004

so far these are the ones i have. my current issue is my patriot will start, but immediately stall. will not stay running. it has been spitting and shuddering for a little bit prior to this. i tried injector cleaner a few times. it seemed to help short term. i also noticed when my fuel level was at 1/4 or less this happened more frequently. at this point im lost and just want this thing to run. i am some what mechanically knowledgeable and can fix a lot of things but am truly lost atm.any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance!

Hi, Neighbor! (I'm from NH but my parents retired to Maine)

Welcome to the forum!

You've got a few more miles than me (189,000) and a heck of a lot more codes than me. I only have an air leak in the fuel system which is so trivial I'll ignore it until I have to do something about it at inspection time. Still got a couple months.

As for your stalling problem, Chrysler products used to have a ballast resistor that was cheap and easy to replace. When it failed, it gave the same symptoms as you're having: Starter turns it over, it catches, then stalls. Whatever the resistor did has probably been replaced by an electronic part these days. The resistor was such a common problem I'd keep one in the toolbox on our old Volare. Even Wifey could fix it (just a couple wires and a single bolt holding it in place).
