Help with rough idle and acceleration - TIA
2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited
Inline 6 Cylinder Engine Automatic Transmission Stock - No modifications Symptoms: After car warms up (3-5 Minutes) the engine idle drops to about 600RPM and the car starts shaking rapidly. When you accelerate the car shakes repeatedly between 600RPM and 1500RPM. At 50 miles an hour, pressing the accelerator slightly to maintain a steady velocity (which is about 1500RPM) the car will experience the shake while driving. Moderate acceleration the problem goes away. Lifting off of the gas and the problem goes away until the above rpm range is reached and then problem comes back Followup: Computer diagnostics indicates a miss fire on cylinder # 5 Question: Could this be a clogged injector or are there other suggestions? TIA Ken |

That's the 4.0L, not the V-8. 4.0L I-6 uses three coil packs, one per two
plugs. "tim bur" > wrote in message ... > not on that coil pac > > Billy Ray wrote: > >> Don't each of the coil packs handle 2 cylinders?

Actually, it's 1 coil pack containing 3 coils. Each coil operating 2 cylinders.

the reason i did not type that in was because it fires a cylinder in the exchaust
stroke and he's trying too figure out a misfire in this case it's not needed info bllsht wrote: > Actually, it's 1 coil pack containing 3 coils.

Only an open circuit would misfire both plugs on a lost-spark ignition... a fouled plug merely helps the other plug fire. __ Steve .. |

A failed coil will kill 2 cylinders.
