Not really remove battery cable for 15minutes or longer to clear codes then drive a few and recheck see what comes back. If you get same codes .You've eliminated any sensor being a issue. Then its back to basics last complete tune up was ? Then you've got possible fuel issues whith bad fuel pressure regulator,leaking fuel injectors.

Mine was to then discovered fuel pressure regulator had a bad diaphragm .Was sucking fuel thru vacuum line to it causing bad mileage. Not saying that's your issue . Could be something different . Its a process of elimination.



It would cause bad mileage but also the jeep would perform like a dog.
35 is fan relay, but I have mine wired to a switch. So I guess I'm still at a dead end.
