    So it started with a rough idle, so I let it go since it was performing well, then it got rough, only when I idle at a red light, okay, iac needs cleaning, so I head to work today, not cleaning the iac, and it starts happening on the merrit as I'm driving, not losing speed, just bucking.
    Does this still fall under iac?
    What else could it be?
    Why is my jeep so full of fail.


    Sorry for typos and grammar, on my phone typing this.

      Check the Throttle position sensor with an ohm meter.

        My jeep does the same thing on occasion. sometimes when I start it up, runs great, sometimes it runs like shit.

        Spark plug wires were changed and the problem went away for about a week, now the problem is back, but not as bad.

              Yes, mine was really bad to. At one point it was running on 3 cylinders.

              I changed the spark plug wires and the problem went away.

                  Definition:
                  Cylinder misfire detected- Random Cylinders.
                  Explanation:
                  The powertrain control module monitors.
                  Crankshaft speed and has detected misfire.

                  Probably Cause:
                  Ignition System fault-spart plug(s), ignition wires, coil.
                  Vacuum leak
                  injector fault

                        could simply be a loose plug wire

                          could be a coil, wires, plugs, distributer/cap/rotor, check them all

                          97 TJ that I think is pretty neat.

                            Cap and rotor were bad.
                            Runs alright, idle's a little, my father thinks it's a small vacuum leak, which also came up on the scan.
                            Thanks guys.
