I have a 04 Liberty 3.7 6cyl. with 75,600 miles. Got an engine light a couple of months ago---P-0128. I have since replaced the engine coolant temp sensor, radiator cap, and ECM [which had to be cloned]. A/C and Heat work fine and temp gauge is fine. Vehicle is primarily used for short [less than 10 miles each way] trips. Any thoughts or possible fixes? Thanks.

This code means that the engine did not warm up to 180 degrees in 10 minutes after startup.
Could be the thermostat is stuck open? Try a new Mopar thermostat?
Only use Mopar Hoat Coolant or Zerex GO5.

I'd also like to mention that short trips can make the KJ unhappy as the stock pcv valve, can become plugged up with a yellowish foam.
Best thing is to drive the jeep a bit further !
This is what my pcv valve looked like due to short trips in cooler weather. Are you using a full synthetic 5w-30 oil?
