    Flashing cel under hard acceleration

    Sorry, I guess I missed what the dealer actually did. I saw the post where they thought it could be injectors, valve or lifter but I didn't see what they actually fixed.

    P0303 Question

    Thanks again for the info. I'll definitely look into the lubrication strategy- I've always used full syn 5W-20 and changed oil & filter at 5k (+/- a few), figured that would be sufficient.

    P0303 Question

    I am not sure. I'll definitely have a better idea after I get it to the shop, though.

    Flashing cel under hard acceleration

    Did you ever get this fixed? I'm having the same problem with #3 cylinder.

    P0303 Question

    Thanks for the info. My main question would be whether or not the new cam would be any better than the old one- I'd much rather pay $3800 (or whatever) than basically probably double that for a new motor.

    P0303 Question

    From what I've looked at so far, Jasper seems to be around 50% higher in price than almost everything else out there. So, I'm wondering if they're that much better? The transferrable warranty is nice for sure, but if I dump $5800 plus labor on a motor, I'm probably not selling the truck any time...

    P0303 Question

    Any guess what the cost would be? I'm in St. Paul, MN, so labor is likely to be absurdly high.

    P0303 Question

    Any idea how much time I might have? Gotta figure out a plan- crash it, trade it, rebuild it or put in a crate motor. It's been going on for a few months, less than the last oil change around 3800 miles ago. It doesn't always do it under load yet, just sometimes.

    P0303 Question

    2012 5.7L with 117k miles. Replaced the plugs only, no coils, last fall, around 15k miles ago. Recently it's started throwing a P0303 (cylinder 3 misfire). It doesn't throw this code while driving "normally" but it will happen when going uphill or under harder-than-normal acceleration (I'm not...

    Thoughts on Jeep Compass?

    Wow that's crazy. What was the air temp? It gets pretty hot in MN and I doubt the wife would like this experience.

    Thoughts on Jeep Compass?

    You guys had great input on the Chrysler 300 I bought for the kid, so I'm back with a new question. Wife is looking at Jeep Compasses (year ranges around 2008 to 2012 or so) with the 2.4L engine (I didn't even know they made motors that small) and the CVT. Hey, it's her money..... Is that...

    Need New Key Fobs

    Well, 6 months later and I FINALLY got around to doing this. Worked slicker than shit using the free PIN Pull app and the full version of AlfaOBD. Many thanks to all who took time to answer!

    Chevy Question

    Please delete if not allowed... I finally got my fob programmed using the advice here and AlfaOBD, and I posted about it on Facebook.... I've now had two friends ask if I can do anything with their Chevies. Does anyone know if there is anything like AlfaOBD for Chevy? I'd like to help them out...

    Aftermarket block heater

    Anyone have any recommendations for a block or oil pan heater? It baffles me to no end that Dodge doesn't build these in as an OEM standard, but whatever..... I live in MN and can't always park in the shop or garage. Thanks!

    Remote Start/Panic Button Key Fob Issues

    I will give that a try. I was hesitant to mess with the board for fear of wrecking it- I only used rubbing alcohol to clean the copper contacts. Thank you for your help.

    Remote Start/Panic Button Key Fob Issues

    @Ken226 thanks for the explanation on how it works. I was wondering about that. I have an MX obdlink but not alphaOBD yet. It seems odd that this happened to both fobs at the same time- they just both slowly died. First remote start quit working, then lock, then unlock- all over the course of...

    Need New Key Fobs

    An update- I tried the new fob skin and it still doesn't work. I don't know a lot about how the fobs work, but I tried some troubleshooting with a working fob from a work truck. Both of my fob skins (new and old) worked with the fob from the work truck. I switched batteries with the work truck...
