Turns out the gas cap did not keep the seal any more. This is the 2nd
time it has been replace. But the good news is that it was covered
and I had a recall item done on it. Turns out they had to install a
heat shield under the muffler since if debris gets caught up there
then it could catch fire!

And it 'sure' isn't like you wheel in any debris, eh?

LOL!

I had to take a shovel to my CJ7's insides after the last run with

first start at the gas cap by looking for any rust in it under the white
plastic and around it if there the cap failed and needs replacing
disconnect the battery and it will erase the code this code sets usually
at cold start ups if the cap is good then inspect all the hoses
for cracks going to the gas tank post results esp. if you have none

no disrespect frank but it's warranty work and costs you nothing so the dealer is
not obligated to define all of the costd d.c incured from that dealer
