    Okay, I have been a mechanic for 0ver 30yrs.
    I have watched some of your videos, and, would bring things to you for repair.
    Anyone can plug a scanner in and see the codes, then start replacing parts to no end but, you double check your self and the tools you use.
    Whenever I am going to replace an expensive part, I will check several different ways to make sure that is the bad part, so as to not be a parts changer.
    Good job!
    Your a great mechanic!

    I am on my 3Rd set of replacement coil packs, failing on 6 everytime after a relatively short amount of time. 130k total miles. The original lost 5 and 6. I am searching to see if it is caused by something else.

    Hi, I have a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee, I installed a New 4.0 after the #6 piston came apart, drove it for a month, No codes. Now have codes PO300, PO302, PO304, this tells me cylinder 2, and 4 are misfiring. I replaced the plugs (gap 0.35) and a new coil. Drove it 2 days and the codes came back, but now it is cylinder 1 through 5 misfiring. It also has a o2 sensor code PO138 Circuit High and PO141 Heater Performance, both on sensor 1 bank 2. This is the only vehicle we have. Can you help?

    Thanks for the video Mr. O! It's still helping people after several years. Polish engineering at its finest!

    I just replaced the coil rail in my 04 grand cherokee 4.0 with 230,000 mi
    I was getting a slight miss at idle that got worse over weeks and finally threw p0306. Plugs only had 6,000 miles on them but, number 6 had hairline cracks in the porcelain (which I think were caused by a bad coil). Replacing that plug made it better at idle but it still had a miss and was knocking when giving it gas while driving.
    While I wasn't 100 % sure it was the coils, I replaced the coil rail along with new plugs and now it seems to be good

    Damn it took me a second to figure out what the hell he was doing๐Ÿ˜‚ I only have one coil and a distributor๐Ÿ˜‚

    I like the RIpp coil pack conversion kit for 2000- 01 Cherokee itโ€™s a high performance kit that is awesome โ€œ itโ€™s around 300 bucks

    At least itโ€™s not Chinese

    I had that 'Six" in a Grand Cherokee (1996) with the 'low oil pressure'. Replaced the oil pressure sender and oil pressure was good as new.

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Spinonemaster says:

    The Jeep 4.0 is notorious for fouling the oil sensor … then people replace with cheap chinese one that fail even faster … buy the good OEM or OMIX ones … and or check with a good quality external gauge …. I've got over 550 K miles on 2 of these cherokees … that 4.0 is a solid engine … it also helps to upgrade to a 4 hole injector as they have the old chrysler 1 hole unit … bosch rebuilds are good (stay away from the cheap chinese ones) the bosch rebuild are 60 bucks, most have a lifetime warranty

    Thanks Eric great job !! Is it possible the paired cylinder with the #6 coil is still operable and not creating a misfire for the paired cylinder. Was it possible to do a OHM coil reading on the #6 and compare with others for a confirmation ? Thanks again, great video !!

    Thanks man! Great video! Appreciate you taking the time to share your knowledge

    I got the same code on my 02 liberty and it has a tapping sound when idling and after it runs a few minutes start getting a little whitish smoke coming from the engine bay. What do you think that is?

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Doug Kubash says:

    There is a chance the O2 sensor problem was a result of the misfire, Good fix!

    Those Jeep XJ 97 up oil pressure gauges are inaccurate sometimes & read low or drop off. I replace the sender no improvement. I found I had perfect oil pressure when I put a mechanical oil pressure gauge on my Jeep. About 15 lbs difference.

    You know Eric you are one of the smartest troubleshooters I have watched. Usually I can be way ahead of a lot of mechs. But proving you are Polish was loosing your license one day before you got it back, burning the tires off with Dad's car. When I was a teen I broke the pickup transmission doing very similar stunts and he made me put another transmission for punishment. Taught me a bit and probably easier for me than him in his 50's.

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Shane Harrison says:

    Didnt know they switched to those kind of coils all the ones I had all had plugs and wires and distributors
