your jeep doesnt store codes.the way that I know how to check them requires an older drb 2 and you have to run some tests with it .at the end of the test it will give you faults if there are any.if you dont mind my asking,what are you trying to fix?

two weeks ago one afternoon it wont start, after a few hours i only found corrosion on the distributor cap, and i replaced it, then it start again, but i thing that it loose power and start vibrating at idle speed. i take it to a shop for a computer diagnosis and they cant find anything, even they told me that the gas pressure are ok.
thanks a lot for your help
