Just one out of three... last tune up was exactly at 60,000 and I did
the oil filter myself last Friday. The service station was about a mile
from my home. I let the Jeep idle about 10 minutes as I waited for the
grease monkey to start. I pretty much did what I did two years ago and
passed with flying colors...
I guess going for a long drive and re-testing @ $45 would be better than
shelling out $80 for a diagnostic... then again if it fails again I'm
out $45 :) I'll try that tomorrow, thanks!

For excess NO you should start by making sure the EGR valve works.
