Hey y'all, I'm at my wits end trying to solve this issue plaguing my TJ for a while now. Here's a basic run down of what's going on:
1) A while back I was having some starter issues. I would turn the ignition and nothing would happen, the jeep had power but no cranking. If I jiggled the brown wire going to the starter it would start fine. So I replaced the terminal on that wire.
2) Everything was working for a while until recently. Now I turn the ignition and it cranks but it won't start untill 2-4 times turning the key. I've heard people say that could be a fuel regulation valve issue (forget the exact name). So I just dismissed it since it's not a "must fix" issue. Until THIS HAPPENED
3) I went to start my jeep last night and it took 2-4 cranks but when it finally started I felt the engine miss and sure enough the CEL decided to celebrate Christmas and lit up lol.
I drove home and didn't feel any misses, only just after it started. Checked my OBD sensor and it read P0301 (cylinder 1 miss)
I've read some people saying it could be the Camshaft Position Sensor but I'm just not sure how to tackle a cylinder miss.
ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
