if the check ingine light is on
there has to be a code
get us the code
bottom line, is you messed something up with the install
whether it be not plugged in correctly. or you didnt tighten the hoses or seomthing
the kit is top notch, and in no way could have caused the check engine light to come on

Hey, go easy on the guy. No one said (in fact he pointed out) it has anything to do w/Woods. I'm going thru the same issue, and I never thought of blaming Brett, although I did contact him for advice.

another thought- your gas cap?
My son's car had the CEL come on last month. He took it to the dealer, they hooked it up and came up with "evap leak". They checked the gas cap and the seal on the gas cap was broken. They replaced it and CEL gone.
2 weeks later the CEL came back. Same code... They checked the new gas cap and discovered a crack in it. Replaced and problem solved again.
Just a thought.

Yeah, they're definitely related. My check engine light has been on since the evapcan was moved (~2 weeks), and the gascap message came on a few days ago. I'm no mechanic, but I'd bet lunch they're related, or even 1 is a false signal from the other.
I'm gonna go over all the hoses this weekend, then take it to the dealer.

?
The engine light is on, with no codes?
They think it might be the evap can, even though there's no codes?
Are there any drivability issues, changes you can observe OTHER than the engine light?
There's typically a solinoid that opens and closes as needed for the system to perform a vacuum/pressure sef diagnostic check, like on start-up, etc...but, if that were to malfunction, there is a code for it.
The canister is not a complicated item other than that solinoid set-up, and that's not realy complicated, its just more than a PLAIN can of charcoal with some lines in/out of it, etc.

no code stealership could not get a code but said it is most likely the evap as it is a very finely tuned system
it throws the engine light on rite after start up.
they were like simple thing like gas cap loose but i'm the only one that fills my jeep and i turn it half turn after tight so all ya here is several clicks.

YES THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON WITH NO CODE! I'm not speaking of wives tails here or i would not have posted this.
i like the kit
I installed it as per instructions
this is where the kits should have been.
i turn the key 3 times it has
-------
then seconds later says dOnE
took it to dealership i watched them hook up the reader he checked for DTC and no stored codes
he reset the computer and said only seen that a few time it was a momentary thing likely the evap system
again before posting this I went and re checked everything
i will get some contact grease and put it on the connections next time i'm under. probably tonight
when i reset the computer.

I'm thinking differentials...definitely sits lower....rear shock mounts...ripping off the evap skid, and nothing else being touched would have to be an act of God
