I'll ask him to install the oil catch can as that appears to be a PITA as well.

I'm sick as a dog and just paid a $250 speeding ticket so if I sound a little grumpy, there's good cause.

Thank you for allowing me to vent.


This is very similar to the issue I had when I first purchased my SRT. You should check the ambient temp sensor. Mine was faulty. It showed correctly in the cabin, but was sending the ECU that it was -36 outside, which made the computer add fuel to keep operating temp appropriate...well when it is 80+ outside, that leads to the S/C overhearting.

It is like a $10 part or something like that and it simple to replace. I don't have the part number off hand here at work, but I'm sure you can find it...or just call the dealer and see what they want to charge you get you a new one.
