Hey Guys,
Would love some insight. I have a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7 that just turned 75k miles. Did some driving this weekend. About 200 miles down south, then the Jeep sat for a day. Drove home, 200 miles back up north. About half way back to home, the Check Engine Light came on. I freaked out, cause I havent had any issues at all with this jeep.
I took it easy on the freeway the last leg home. Jeep still ran like a dream, great gas mileage (18mpg) no shakes, no funny smells, no nothing.
I didn't have a code reader at that moment, but looked online for some quick troubleshooting tips.
Checked the gas cap, and reseated accordingly. Light still on.
Checked under the hood for anything weird....
I DID find that an air inlet/outlet tube that went to my cold air intake had gotten lose. Not all the way disconnected, but def getting there. Re-seated it and the light was still on.
1 day later.... check engine light no longer on. Did this fix the issue? Was that it?
Got a OBII bluetooth reader and pulled the last code. P0404 - looked it up, Exhaust Gas Recirculation.
Do you think loose air intake tube could have caused the issue. I never cleared the check engine light, it just went off on its own?
Sorry this is long and boring, but can anyone offer me some insight. EGRs are cheap, but heard install is a bitch getting your hand and tools down there to get the old one out.
Let me know. Any help would be great
Thanks
