Check Engine Light
« on: 01/18/06 - 09:02PM »
Check engine is on and stays on, thought i had it fixed. Had it read at a garage and they said it was a cylinder 1 misfire. Changed the plugs and checked them and found a chunk taken out of #1 electrode. Replaced all plugs, and plug wires and rotor, dist. cap. Check Engine light returned. Runs rough at idle. 140,000 miles on engine. maintence done regularly. Injection  cleaner put in tank.


What next ???? Anyone have any suggestions?????

98 TJ 4.0L  Manual, no air
