Do you think one of them is using gear pt. 2

Grr, people on my Jeep site don't want to help me fix the Wrangler... asses....

I have a buddy selling a set of rims for a wrangler. 17in Rubicon wheels from 2005 or 2007 maybe. Would they fit yours? I thought you were on the lookout for wheels but I doubt these would fit 35in tires.

Heres the Jeep problem, it's an intermittent misfire and running rough on cold starts.

On a cold start it takes a second to fire and usually it's not pretty.
When it finally does fire it runs like complete dog crap, you can hear and see a chug chug chug going on with the engine.
Every, single, time if I give it about 10 seconds it settles out completely and runs fine.


That's one symptom.

The other is my intermittent misfire.
4 weeks ago when I went to start it it threw a misfire code for cyl 1
*note* it ALWAYS does the above when it cold starts.
I cleared the code
2 weeks ago it came back, misfire cyl 1
I let it be
Last night on the way home, the misfire code cleared itself.

The plugs in this thing are brand new with less than 100 miles on them.
The vehicle had these symptoms before and after swapping plugs.

Any ideas of where to start?

If the code just pops up randomly and clears itself, sounds like it could be a bad signal?

Not when the symptoms are there. It always throws the code just after cold starting where it does that chug chug chug bull.

But yes, it does pop up and disappear all on it's own.
Well, it has this one time just this week anyway.
 
When my car overboosts in the winter time bc of the cold temps, it'll throw a CEL light, lock out cruise control, and retard timing for a while. After a day or two the code resets itself, I get cruise control back, and it advances timing back to what it was. Or I could clear it with the scanner immediately lol

Or by grounding the battery :p

Luckily my Wrangler doesn't have a "limp" mode like your car seems to have.
The CEL is more of an annoyance than anything, the 4.0L in these things will run just about forever.

Grounding the battery hasn't reset that specific code for me but you're right it can clear some/most.
