Cylinder #2 misfire
2003 Liberty 3.7 engine. I am getting a CEL code cylinder #2 misfire. I swapped coil and plug with another cylinder but the misfire stayed on #2.

This is most likely what caused the head...- speedgeek

I just signed up today. I just bought a Jeep. It has overheating issues. Puttering around the neighborhood it does fine. Only at highway speeds does it happen.There is warm air coming out the heater vents,but it isn't hot. Right before the temp starts climbing cool air is coming out the vents...- speedgeek
