Update.
I changed the oil and added the Techron fuel cleaner and went on a 60 mile drive through the canyons, I drove it like my GTI. Pulled up some long hills, tried to keep the revs up and it chugged along the whole way.
It seems that the CEL will come in when idling for a bit so I stopped...
I upgraded my brakes on my GTI with the bigger brother 345mm Golf R calipers and rotors. I replaced the lines with stainless steel and new Hawk HPS pads, the hardest part is the brake lines, makes a mess but rotors and pads are cake. Most of these guys will have better suggestions on which...
So sure enough CEL just came back on. Filled up with some good gas right before. It seems I should invest in a scanner tool. Should I start with switching the injector?

Brakes are brakes. Just run your finger on the rotor and see if you feel a lip, I have only had my KJ for 1 week but again brakes are brakes. You can see the pad from the caliper most of the time so you can see how much pad you have left. Maybe you just need pads and either resurface the rotors...
This is the reading that has worried me. But I will try driving the heck out of it and see what happens. The oil was just changed before I got it but I want to put my own oil in and run it from there, I'll try to get out and drive it.
It could be in my head but when I got it back from the shop...
I think a clogged cat would not allow the exhaust gases to flow out properly which would inturn would back up ignition and combustion, I think.
I don't know if it's in my head but it feels a bit stronger now. I'm going to keep driving it and deal with it as it comes. I'll report back.

So you recommend a whole exhaust system? I just passed smog and I have friend with a shop so not worried there, just don't want a damn misfire. I got this KJ to daily and get out of my car payment with my 2013 GTI, I really plan to care for this as much as I need to.

I have driven 6 miles since getting the code cleared and it hasn't came on and could just be me but feels like it has a tad more pep.

I have seen that mentioned a few other places as well. Would the cat start to clog with only 38k miles? Or would it clog from unburnt fuel?

Excellent will try for now, thank you. If it comes back I will try and find someone who is more familiar with the platform. Any suggestions on a place in SoCal? More so Los Angeles?

Like I stated I put all fresh plugs in and gapped to 0.40. I could buy a new OEM coil and put it on 4 along with the other OEM coils and see if that helps.
If I simply disconnect the negative terminal on the battery the CEL would turn off but the code would be stored still so my question is...
Got the Jeep back from the shop, they say nothing is wrong and it drives perfectly fine. The code was still saying misfire in 4 but seems to be OK. They said to continue to drive it and see how it is.

Did not get Mopar packs, just picked them up from Autozone, I agree OEM is always best but was not going to throw money at something if it wasnt the actual issue. I didn't move them around to see if it followed yet. I just dropped it off at a trusted shop to have them take a look while I am...
Hello all,
New to Jeep but not to wrenching on my own.
I purchased my 07 Liberty 3.7 with 38k miles (yes very low miles) 6 days ago and the CEL instantly came on before the first test drive. He said he had never had it on before. I took him for a respectable guy. We pulled the negative...
