    Broken Jeep..



    Ugh, was headed to do some wheeling at Hungry Valley and the check engine light came on.. I pulled into a gas station and read the codes (don't remember what they were other than a misfire, but there were 7 of them) I was hoping to drive it home and diagnose, but it died about 5 miles into the return trip. So I had to use my road side service for the first time (go Geico) and they towed me the the closest Jeep dealership. I'm not sure whats wrong yet, but I guess we'll see, should still be covered by my carmax extended warranty so I should only be $75. Just kind of a crappy day.

    Update from today.. cylinder 5 misfire (yea I figured that one out on my own..) but they think a valve is staying open. So they have to remove the valve cover... warranty company won't approve the claim until they determine what is actually wrong. So currently I'm on the hook for the tear down. So hopefully tomorrow I'll have some more news, but I doubt anything else will get done today.
