I dont have an SC I've been on the fence about them for SOOO long. Guys in my local club have them. Ive driven a few. They are good. Mostly. The autos less than the sticks.
The builds those guys have are heavy stupid builds. Pile as much crap on as they can. So that review is not with optimized jeeps.
. Not sure of your point other than the SC jeeps are mostly good. Nobody around here has one on theirs and when people hear it they either are amazed or think it's a serious vacuum leak. Haha. If your on the fence and have drove them and still can't decide than you probably answered yourself on to get one. Yeah, skip it. Why cause a headache if you don't need to. Again I'm glad I didn't get an auto. And this jeep doesn't have a lot of crap piled on itOriginally Posted by Yoinkers
Try to get your jeep to a reputable dyno tuner and let them get your parameters in check and tweeck it for what the kit was built to do
Dont know if this applies to you but there is a TSB I found for other pentastar applications with this fault. If this is the case I think you need to:
Go to the dealer
Return PCM to stock
Have it flashed
Install RIPP tune and send them the now new backup file to have their additions made to it.
SUBJECT:
Flash: MIL Illumination P0441, P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305, P0306,
P0420, P0430, P113D, P113E, P0133, P0153
OVERVIEW:
This bulletin involves selectively erasing and reprogramming the Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) with new software.
MODELS:
2012 (JC) Journey
**2012 (JS) 200/Avenger**
NOTE: This bulletin applies to **JC** vehicle equipped with a 3.6L engine (sales
code ERB) built before November 15, 2011 (MDH 1115XX) or **JS vehicle
equipped with a 3.6L engine (sales code ERB) built before December 16, 2011
(MDH 1116XX).**
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
The customer may experience a MIL illumination. Upon further investigation the
Technician may find that any of the following Diagnostic Trouble Codes have been set.
a. P0441 - Evap Purge System Performance
b. P0420 - Catalyst Efficiency (Bank 1)
c. P0430 - Catalyst Efficiency (Bank2)
d. P0133 - O2 Sensor 1/1 Slow Response
e. P0153 - O2 Sensor 2/1 Slow Response
f. P0300 - Multiple Cylinder Misfire
g. P0301 - Cylinder 1 Misfire
h. P0302 - Cylinder 2 Misfire
i. P0303 - Cylinder 3 Misfire
j. P0304 - Cylinder 4 Misfire
k. P0305 - Cylinder 5 Misfire
l. P0306 - Cylinder 6 Misfire
m. P113D - O2 Sensor 1/1 Slow Response (High Frequency)
n. P113E - O2 Sensor 2/1 Slow Response (High Frequency)
Updating the software will correct the conditions listed above.
Thank you for the reply, it's much appriciated. I'll try it and see what happens.
I actually bought the afe y pipe to put the wide band on that instead of drilling the factory pipes. So you've been having problems since you installed it?
I don't have the loop delete but I do have the wideband. I wouldn't worry about drilling your stock pipe. Drill, weld...good to go. Easier than cutting into the stocker and clamping up and you save a couple bucks even if you have a exhaust shop do it. They give you a plug for the bung if you pull out the wideband sensor. Let us know how the wideband turns out. Interested to see how it goes. I haven't had time yet to put mine on. Got the gauge installed and looking good but not wired up yet. And to may be answer your question : yes Ripp says you'll need a different tune when you delete the pipe. Foxsat is possibly dealing with that problem right now. It throws a code. After you install the pipe, call Ripp and get a different tune or possibly get tuned from a local tuner after you install the wideband.
My bad. I mentioned I had deleted the factory exhaust loop, but I did not.
I had already replaced the factory Y-pipe with the AFe Y-pipe before I had the SC installed. I had no CEL or surging. It wasn't until I installed the ripp36_2.2drg that I got the CEL. I did not mention the Y-pipe to Ripp when I requested the ripp36_2.2drg tune. I had forgotten about it. This time around however, I did mention it to them. Just waiting on the tune now.
I'm currently waiting for Ripp to send me my tune. I already updated the Trinity T1000 tuner and sent the necessary info to Ripp. I made it clear that I retained the exhaust loop and only replaced the factory Y-pipe.
