sooooo heres the story-
the check engine light came on awhile back, went to get it looked at and they said one of the cylinders wasnt firing, so the spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor were all switched for new and threw some fuel injector fluid in there, the light is still on and there are still some lovely vibrations and a rough idle- any ideas???

try some nyquil, if the conditions persist for more than 3-5 days consult your physician.
i would check to see if there is a bum fuel injector next.
i usually take a stethescope and place it on one injector at a time. they should make a consisntent clicking noise that changes with engine speed.
if one doesnt click or clicks funky as compared to the others, then you must find out if it's a bum injector or merely a wiring problem.

we have this hardcore stuff at school that actually works. your car will run soleley off the injector cleaner for about a half hour.
for the fuel pressure, you gotta rig up compressed air to it as well.its a pretty slick setup and does a great job.

My tj was (i think) .35, but it says right under the hood what it should be. |
