A misfire means the a particular or several cylinders failed to effectively produce work. The engine may feel shaky and sluggish. Ultimately this could cause further damage such as catalytic converter.

What the P0700 code means. P0700 is set when the PCM detects a malfunction in the transmission control system. This malfunction causes the vehicle to set a Check Engine Light and trigger a failsafe mode. Once the failsafe mode is set it will remain until the fault is repaired or normal operation is detected.

I changed my spark plugs and afterwards the chech engine light came on. the jeep runs great. what can make that happen?

IT could be something such as a loose plug wire.The best advise I can give you is to take your jeep to your local auto parts store and have them pull the codes out of your on board computer.This will give you an area that you can concentrate on to make the necessary repairs to get your check engine light to go out.

Check engine light came on temporay

often , if the check engine light goes off, it is usually caused by an intermittent condition, such as a cylinder misfire, or similar. One thing to try is to get your car scanned to see what code is stored. Most auto parts stores will scan your car for free, and let you know what has happened. This way you can get some knowledge towards solving your problem.

My 1997 Dodge mini van will not start. When I do

The flashing check engine light would mean that the engine is misfiring, If you have a scanner, use it on the diagnostic port of the engine to check for the error code to get which cylinder is misfiring and if there are other errors that needs to be checked.
