miss on yj

(1/5) > >>

stsubs:
My YJ has been missing for some time so I got new plugs and new spark plug wires . stop for a small time and came back need help

RnnngTrails:
Ok so to elaborate on what he just said, his check engine light came on and he was misfiring on one of his cylinders. The quick fix was to change plugs and wires and that seemed to stop it when we were done. He drove the car for about 10 miles on 2 different trips and the first time it ran fine but the second time it randomly stalled out on him. anybody have any ideas what could be going on? Distributor cap maybe?

rocket:
cap is worth a shot, what code did it throw?  oh, and its a good idea to change the cap and rotor when you do wires/plugs

Gastank:
Now is the check engine light a constant thing. Also like Rocket asked... did you check to see what code it was throwing. Understand that it's an OBD1 ECU so it's not going to be exact. but it will point you in the right direction and can also help us to help you.

stsubs:
I am going to get the code but it c/e light will come on then go out like to night.  Ran fine all day today but at night it came bake >:(.  I do think it is the cap when it gets damp out it starts to miss.  So on a nice sune day runs good 8).  On a bad raineee day like today runs bad :(.  I am going to put a new cap on today $12.99 not bad.  I will let you know if it works + code.
