    I replaced my throttle body yesterday after months of the throttle light (red lightning bolt) coming on and sending the car into limp mode, restarting, and repeating the process over and over.

    Good morning everyone! Long time lurker, first time poster here. Thank you all for the wealth of information, it’s been really helpful!

  9. Newbie Check-In
    The light in the picture below came on last night. I’m not very savvy with mechanical work but I read to check the gas cap and caps under the hood and I think those all up and it’s still on. Any ideas on things I can try before taking to mechanic? I also read could be low gas mileage and I...

    I have a 2015 Jeep Patriot. The last three times I had a scheduled oil change, when I got the car back, the check engine light was on. Prior to the oil change, the light was not on, and I was having no issues. All three times, I had the technician take a look at it before I left the facility...

    Help, I am at WITS END! I purchased my sweet little lemon (2007) in August 2019. Had loads of trouble. We tried to start out by addressing what seemed simplest... the P0456, P0457 in conjunction with the GASCAP prompt. Replaced the gas cap. Then another. Then another. Then an OEM one. No such...
  16. Newbie Check-In
    I bought this jeep today and I got it for a great price. It has 156,000 miles on it but I had a Jeep in high school and I know that if you take care of them, Jeeps will go forever. My question is what makes both the check engine and four-wheel-drive warning lights simultaneously light up? Both...

    I'd like to learn if anyone here could advise on the issues with my 2009 Jeep Patriot 4x4, 2.4L, 4 Cyc., CVT II. The issue started with gas filling that caused fuel nozzle frequently kicking-off every few seconds, without any MIL or other alerts. There were no damages to the fuel-related tube or...
