I think mine was like $14 shipped. Once I can get the eBay app to work I'll post a link up on here for you guys. There are several free apps on the android market for it

Ethanol sucks yes, but 1.the are gas stations that sell ethanol free fuel, I would try that before you blame the fuel, if it was the fuel EVERYONE would have the same problem. And as far as reprogramming the ecm, 1. It's illegal to tamper with the emissions control related parameters 2. There isn't enough people making high performance 4.0 jeeps to have a market/interest for someone to figure it all out 3. The ones that do need it go with a stand alone ecm 4. It's illegal to modify the factory calibration due to the fact they the coding is trade marked or something. And most of all, I do emissions inspections every day, so I know my **** with this lol

Also, there is a loop hole with almost every safety and emissions law in this state.

Also, Bluetooth obd adapters do not work with apple iPhone/iPad, they require a Wi-Fi connected version.

Yep lol I use to work at a Tires Plus I've seen them . When the state guy comes and audits and checks books it got a little tense
I missed the iPhone part I have a droid so I can only speak to that. Torque is neat though I like it.

Our PCMs use EPROM watertight sealed chips - you would need to unseal the chip and desolder it to reprogram it, or run a piggyback system.

Tires!!! Now I'm ready to do the lift. I wasn't going to lift it without them. They have over 8/32 and I feel real happy for the price not cuts,dry rot or bad belts. I didn't think I'd find any for my price range. The guy opened his garage and it was wall to wall 31s .

I have tried ethanol free fuel and it does solve the problem, however I can't run that far out of my way to fuel up when I do it twice a week. Again I know what I want done can be done because I had it done to my M3 I was simply trying to find out if any one locally can do it. I did not plan to get flamed nor do I appreciate it. I have been on this forum a long time and have wheeled XJs hard for 12 plus years. I do all of my own wrench turning and am not in any way a noob to automobiles. If the answer is no than that is all that needed to be said. I didn't need all the chest bumping ****. This all I am going to say on this matter. I am taking the answer as no there is no one in south central PA that can tune on a Jeep ECU.

An M3 is a completely different animal, just like the volkswagens that come into the shop that all the emissions monitors are permanently set to pass, where do they get them tuned? Out of the country, most come from Canada that I have seen, they are sold as 'offroad use only'. I'm not trying to flame you, I gave you a short answer, you didn't like it, so I elaborated after you denied my answer and I tried to offer an alternative solution. No chest beating cave man **** intended. If you want that, go to pirate and ask the same question.

last post about this topic, you say your jeep pops a p030x code(s), but seeing as its not bad enough for you to want to fix it and you would rather get the misfire monitor tuned out of the ecm, wouldnt it be cheaper and easier to just deal with the check engine light for everyday, and then before you take it in for inspection, go to the ethenol free station, fill up, clear your check light, get the monitors set, then while still on the ethenolless gas, take it in for inspection?

Why don't you wrap your fuel rail in heat tape or insulate it some other way? The heat soak is a pretty common issue with the obd2 4.0s
