    Troubleshooting small sounding misfire with P0301, P0431, & P0123 codes

    This started after an off-road trip on the way back had a really bad misfire in cylinder one. So bad I had to end up towing it home. Ended up replacing the spark plugs, and that fixed it for a while. They were really poorly gaped (i didn’t know gapping was a thing lol). To sure things up I...

    Computer issue?

    I have a 2004 TJ Rubicon with the 4.0 and automatic (42RLE). About 4 years ago, I was having shifting issues between 1st and 2nd where it felt like a slip/missed the gear, but would only do it once in a blue moon (never threw a code), and would shift into 2nd after about 1-2 seconds of...

    My ‘01 TJ Sport 4.0 seems to burn thru Coil Packs lately. My TJ started rough idle after start following a 20+ minute stop after warming up and NO codes. Usually it would smooth out and drive great. Cold startups were perfect. One thing of interest is the 4.0 engine runs very hot. The hood...
