I am not mechanically inclined so I rely on my mechanic quite a bit.
I bought a 2002 Jeep TJ Sport 2 years ago for a summer car as ive always wanted one and figured since my boys were grown, mom deserved it. It has been nothing but a headache and a money pit.
The CEL comes on all the time.
The code is P0303. So I know its the cylinder 3 misfire (googled that)
We changed the spark plugs because they were long overdue. improved the idle and ride but the code still comes up.
Now I know we havent investigated much but I really dont want to keep throwing money at this thing. Ive replaced everything to the tune of 6000 dollars (Canadian but still!_)
I googled what else it could be and seems like alot of expensive maybes.
So here it is.
It sputters a little when idling. It doesn't ride rough
I held a clean paper towel at the end of the exhaust and it had some slightly tinged black liquid.
So looking for some best guesses
