William Oliveri did pass the time by typing:
> How do you erase the trouble codes?
Disconnect the battery for about 20-30 min
and that will cause it to dump everything.
That also resets the tranny computer and other
things. For the first few dozen miles you run
after doing this drive "normally". i.e. don't
mash the gas, the computer will be fine tuning
the mix and other things.
PS. This is exactly what you have to do if you
ever replace the header, injectors, or O2 sensor.
Otherwise the computer can become confused.

You really know I just want to come down there and slap you...

They had the distributor right.
The 'miss' is the same damn one that killed the last engine by gas wash
is my guess. Check that spark plug again.

Re: Changing the name of my jeep from Blackie to Black Cloud (or error 54 diagnostic code)
Well, I took the dist off and lifted up the plate and looked at the sensor
and it was caked with black crap so I cleaned it all off and put it all back
together again. Also, don't know how it got there but I stuck a straw into
the wiring harness connector (3 pin) and found what looked to be oil. So I
cleaned that up too.
Now it still won't start and there's no fault code indicating a problem.
That is I don't have 54 anymore I just have the following returns:
12
55
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bill
