You did not specifiy which engine your Jeep has. Given your description, the engine likely has a "waste spark" ignition system. That means one coil is used to fire two cylinders. Likely the spark coil that provides spark for cylinders 1 and 4 is defective. Better to replace all of them rather than wait for the next one to fail. It is a good idea to replace the sparks plugs at the same time, and the plug wires, too. That way your engine will perform better and you won't have to fret about its ignition system for along time.

1st, replace your spark plugs(for gasoline engine) or heater plugs (for diesel engines)

if this does not work, have a mechanic check the timing of your engine. Engine timing is checked in the distributor, camshaft, and crankshaft.

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.

1999 jeep cherokee 6 cylinder engine light

1.Plugs
2. Vacuum leak
3. Injector fault
4. High or low fuel pressure.
Thats the list of things to check.
This is a #3 cylinder misfire.
There is also TSB about #3 injector needing added heat protection. This could definitely be the cause. I start at plugs and go from there.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Lee
