Re: 93' Grand Cherokee Runs Rich? Codes
I pulled the codes.
They were 1,2,5,5
So, is that a 25 code? 12 code?
I get confused.
Thanks.

Re: 93' Grand Cherokee Runs Rich? Codes
Now I see.
It's a 12 code. Of course, the battery was disconnected Monday on the
alternator replacement.
And 55 to indicate the end of the codes.

And 55 to indicate the end of the codes.

Yep.
That means the engine isn't picking up faults so your problem
is either in the intake, ignition, or exhaust.
Given the milage you claim on the cat, dollars-to-donuts it is
plugged. A new one should cost about 100$ from any local muffler shop.
Aftermarket cats are good for about 80k-100k miles
