Jeep Liberty Check Engine Light/Misfire Due to Intake Valve Locks/Valves. ...Misfire cyc 4 and random cyc misfires, changed coil packs and plugs... sounds as if rod ... Light came on again (misfire on cylinder 4) - switched coil from 4 to 2. Light ...
CarGurusMay 27, 2009 - #4 misfire new plugs and coil pack on #4 light came back on after 300 miles if ... How come it stopped misfiring for 2-3 months, and now is back? ... I have a 2005 Jeep Liberty 6 cylinder, engine light came on scaned the codes ...
I'm assuming this is a DIS(distibutorless ignition system).If it is,the most common cause is a defective coil pack.Each coil will fire a pair of cylinders together on 4 and 6 cylinder engines(one "waste" spark,one to ignite the mixture).Try swapping the wires at the coil pack to see if the misfire follows the coil tower,or the same cylinder misfires(keep in mind that a check engine light means you will have to clear the code to get the computer to feed that cylinder fuel before you start it up again).If the other cyl on the pack now misfires(i believe 1+5 are on the same pack on a Ford engine),then the coil is bad(spark is "leaking"to ground).If the same cyl still misfires,try swapping a wire+plug from another cylinder.
You could have a bad coil pack or a bad fuel injector. swap out the coil packs from the misfiring cylinders and put them in the cylinders that are known to be firing correctly to narrow it down to determine if it is the coil pack first. When is the last time you changed the spark plugs? Pull them out of the misfiring cylinders to check the condition of the plugs.
I have no idea what those last two are. Typo, maybe?
Your first two codes could be caused by old spark plugs and/or leaking plug wires.
Your EVAP code could be a bad fuel tank pressure sensor or a malfunctioning EVAP system. With that code, if you remove your fuel cap and get a whoosing sound, then it is an issue with your EVAP system not properly venting the tank. If you don't get that sound, then the tank pressure sensor is bad.
it is always a good idea to stay with o.e.m parts and yes there is updated parts in the newer coils. and yes the M.A.F will also cause misfire faults but will not make check engine light flash or make car shake and shudder. also check you wire harness going to your coils make sure your ground wires are not cracked. That could be the main culprate. good luck hope this helps
P0306 is a misfire on cylinder number 6. The fact that you have oil on those plugs may or may not be causing it. The oil on the plugs is because of a leaking "internal" valve cover gasket. First thing I'd do is change the valve cover gaskets. Audi will murder you if you want them to do it (I've heard of people quoted $700 or more for this job). It's VERY easy to do. You can order the gaskets from www.ecstuning.com or www.purems.com for about $25 per side. I'd change them for sure, as they're a known issue on these cars.
Now, if your new plugs and changing the gaskets (and cleaning up of course) doesn't fix the misfire, you need to swap coil packs around and see where the code goes. The coil packs are the three parallel items on the top front center of the engine under the beauty cover. Trace the #6 wire back to see which coil pack it goes to. Then swap that pack with another pack, clear the codes, and fire up the car. See if the check engine light comes back and if so, scan the car to see what codes come up. If you still get P0306, then the failure didn't move, and the coil pack is not the issue (in your case, it's likely to be the wire, since you have new plugs and swapping coils didn't work). If the misfire moved to a different cylinder (one which is now hooked up to the coil pack that was originally firing the #6 cylinder) then that coil pack is bad and must be replaced (another known issue on the A4).
