I'm writing this from my phone in my motel room in Nags Head, NC this am... Came down with my old lady for some R/R and some surf fishing. About an hour out from Manteo, MIL light comes on while cruising at about 65mph. No noticeable changes in driveability at all. Luckily, a few miles later I was able to pull into an auto parts store and had them pull 2 codes: PO700 & PO740. Was able to make it to our motel with no driveability issues whatsoever. I'm about to find out if this morning if it's still OK.
We're planning on taking it on the beach to fish, and I'm concerned about having something happen while up on the sand in 4x4... We're also 5 hours from home!
I've always kept up with regular maintenance and consider myself moderately mechanically inclined. Not afraid to get hands dirty
Recent work includes:
-rear diff serviced
-new plugs, gapped to spec
-serviced air filter(cleaned and oiled k&n) in stock housing
-oil changed
-valve cover gasket replaced
-transmission pan dropped and gasket/filter changed
-ball joints and front axle u joints replaced.
That's all the recent stuff I can think of for now. Never had MIL come on before. Since I'm on my phone, both my data and search ability are limited outside my motel's WiFi range. My initial search results on these codes were fruitless.
Hoping it's something I can wait to address until after I get back home, but any help would surely be appreciated.
Plan on driving it to breakfast and seeing how it acts up (if at all) this am when cold. I'll report back in couple hours..
TIA everyone!
