And also I put new cap rotor and wires on it today from napa and this time engine light came back on right away."it's been on before" but when I reconnect the battery and drive usually it takes almost a day to come back on.

Also did not put new plugs in yet only replace those 2 in the pic with others I had that were a bi better all champions.

Waiting for my NGK plugs tomorrow

What are the codes that you are getting with the CEL?

Roler

Before or after the plug swap?
Make sure your leads are reconnected in the correct sequence. Double check.

And yes, have you checked the CEL yet!?

Mikeythrash

Cel? And btw my engine light went off after I drove more on the highway it's not missing around 45mph like it was but it is still running rough at idle and shaky at stop lights.Also the plugs have not been changed yet I am doing that today and sequence you mean the correct order they are in? If so yes I can take a pic today and show you.

Double check all the wire connections at the cap.

Here's the firing order: 1,5,3,6,2,4 in a clockwise direction.

Here's where #1 should be:

So your saying cylinder 5 is after 1 on the head? I set it up looking at a pic that had the numbers for where each plug goes.





Is it bad that there touching like that ?

Mikeythrash

I used this

Mikeythrash

Engine light is back on still have to get new plugs.why would it go off and seem a tad better then come back on and be rough all I changed was cap rotor and wires.i was told maybe new a new IAC Sensor.

Roler

Can't see from your pic whether you connected them correctly or not.
But no, it can't hurt them touching like that, as long as the insulation is all in good shape.

Try to get your jeep checked for codes (The CEL is what we mean with the check engine light being on). That light tells you the PCM has detected a fault of some kind and reading out the codes can give you the answer to your question whats going on. I understand part stores in the US do a reading for codes free of charge.

I think night distributor could probably be turned a bit and I do know my manifold gasket is basically dry rotted could that cause misfires? I'll take a better pic if the distributor

Roler

Why would you want to turn the distributor? Making another pic will likely not makes things more clear. You have to check the leads and make sure they are connected correctly.

Mikeythrash

I'm saying where one is seems a little off

Roler

As long as your cap is screwed on tight and the leads are connected correctly, don't worry about that.
