Jeep and P0108

[podan]

Purchased a 2012 Wrangler for my son (Only 12,000 miles on it) and am teaching him to drive a standard (oh boy).

Yesterday, he was having a hard time and stalled out on hills a few times. He stalled out at a stop sign, and the MIL, ETC and traction control lights all turned on. I had him pull over and turn off the engine. It restarted fine and the ETC and traction control lights were off but the MIL remained. Drove on with no problems. Checked system, it set a P0108 (MAP circuit high).

Did his driving and stalling out repeatedly cause this problem, or should I be looking for something else?

If you clear the code does it come back?

Probably related to the stalling, the ECM was trying to keep the engine going but the load on the engine was too much and the MAP was probably reporting something out of parameters as this was all going on. I'd just clear the code and monitor it.

OK, I've cleared the code and will turn him loose with it again. Thanks.

It may have also corrected itself after several drive cycles but then again, he's not done stalling it anyways.

Wait until the WOT and clutch dumps start!

I had no idea how much power that v6 had, and almost think this was not the best choice for a first car for a 16 year old boy.
