it would be a check engine light. Should be on the left side of the dash. i would check fueling issues first. sounds like a sick fuel pump, dirty filter, or bad injector(s)

just had a play around and found the coil wire loose so puched it further into the block and took it on a 10 mile road test with some side ways action as its just snowed here again and all seems fine but i think im going to do a fuel filter change tomorrow as the previous owner stated that the jeep had been stood for 3 months

thanks for the help .
