Question jerking
Hi, yesterday my jeep had jerking with "check engine light" on, I replaced the spark plugs but nothing happened. This morning the jeep started normally !! and everything was OK. I checked it one more time and it was OK! >>> The plugs were 1 year 3 mothes old!!!

shoul I clean the injector? if so, how? some people here use spray, dissconnect the fuel tank and push some liquid into the injector then push the gas padle hardly >>>> is it the correct way of cleaning the injectors??

Your Jeep is trying to talk to you and you're ignoring it.

If I had to guess, bank 1, sensor 2. But get a code reader on it if you can! It will really help narrow it down.
