So my 2019 General is getting harder and harder to start when cold. I tried chemicals like HEET and other types of additives to clean injectors. It didn't help.
Its gotten bad enough that now I when I start it when cold I have to keep my foot on the pedal to do a high idle until it has some engine temp and then it will idle normally.
It should be noted, there is 10k miles on this General.
I've done all the maintenance on the motor as detailed by the manual, I did plugs last year and all the fluids every 100 hours.
I have never checked the valves though. I watched Youtube's on that and it looks beyond my capability to adjust the valves.
This morning, it lit an engine light. The orange engine symbol on the instrument panel came up and flashed at me for a bit, then went solid.
After it idled though, the engine symbol went away.
Is there a place to plug in a code reader on these? (Is it the same plug as the ones on normal passenger cars)?
Thanks for any information!
Mike
