im getting a code for cylinders 1 & 2 misfiring. I have perfect oil pressure and a steady 200 degrees on the temp. The current thought is the coil pack, however they are not known for going bad. I havent taken anything apart yet just looking for some ideas if anyone else has had this issue.
Pull your plugs and see what they look like. Start the Jeep in the dark and look for spark. Make sure your injectors are working properly, and also check the crank position sensor. Keep us updated!

I don't think your motor came with those plugs.. Get a set of champion's and turn of the mil and see if it comes back after 60 miles or so. Only reason I go with Champs is because it's recomended from the factory.

Cap & rotor could be suspect as well.. I just has a #1 misfire intermittently & found it was arcing inside the cap.. nice lil' carbon trail coming down from the arc terminal.
Alright, that's great news! I would replace them too. I'm actually going to relpace mine because Autolites are in there now...bleh...

put some miles on it today and no light, looks like the #1 cylinder was the plug that wasn't screwed in completely and #2 cylinder was the plug that had carbon buildup.
