Hello all I am writing from France .
I am an happy owner of a Jeep KJ 2007 CRD 2.8 having around 20Kmiles on the clock.
Last week I spend some xmas holidays on the mountain and after used back the car after being parked at around 14F for few days the car had no problem to start BUT after started and engine happily idling the ETC signal started to blink.....
I did not noticed any kind of issue on driving the car , event on the way back home.
I thought it was due to the cold temperature and *eventually* to the fact the battery is still the OPTIMA original one.
Today , once came back home ( I leave on the sea side ) I used again the car and even if the temperature are much better (56F
) I had the same problem. Suddenly I noticed the the ETC light started to blink once the automatic idling regulator tried to accelerate a little bit (just after the normal ignition) and this moment reminded me a problem I had with my old gasoline cars where in order to remove this problem after a certain mileage I had to clean the butterfly. I am very puzzled
because as far I know the butterfly unit belong only to the gasoline engines on the other hand the *signal* of the failure is very similar .... I am wrong ???
What I can do ????
Thank you very much from a friend overseas .....
