Any codes on the odometer?

No codes have shown up on the odometer..Is ther any chanc that the spark plug coil rail have anything to do with it...I have had a misfire on cylinder 3 and havent gotten a chance to fix it yet.

I keep hearing about this crank position sensor that you can test them with an ohmmeter..but not sure on how to do that..

I have seen where there is something that shows up on the odometer that says "NO BUS" but has not shown up..But I only read of that on the later models

Here is a link to a thread on how to test your crank sensor. Highly recommended.

What you are seeing with the cylinder 3 misfire may be "heat soak". It is very common on the 2000-2001 4.0 engine and often leaves you with a mysterious misfire on cylinder 3.

Search for information on heat soak.
