PLEASE HELP
I changed my Neutral safety switch and valve cover gasket and now my jeep is misfiring or acting really weird when i start it up so i just shut it off. Tried a few times and it does the same thing. I didnt touch any wires or plugs or anything when i did the valve cover and the the NSS same thing except the NSS harness

Maybe theres a ground that goes to one of the valve cover studs? I didnt really touch any wiring aside from trying to get a wrench in the way back for the bolt on end of valve cover, that big wire harness on the firewall i pushed it that was it.

Its a 99. I got it to start again and instead of shutting it off like i was doing before i let it run. It sounded like **** but worked through it and now is doing fine and starts right up without problem. It doesnt make sense... The only thing i can think of is maybe bad engine ground or battery terminal connection. I tightened them all played with some other things etc. another thing is i accidently removed the radiator hose when i was doing valve cover because it was in the way, and it got coolant on around the closest spark plug. Maybe a combination of things? Only DTC was p0705 for the nss which i replaced so cleared the code well see how that pans out.

I used a felpro no rtv or silicone just the gasket. It doesnt appear to be leaking but ill keep an eye on it. I also cleaned the cap and rotor on the distributor but that didnt help it must have been something else. On a side note i changed the speedo gear for tire siZe on the trans yesterday and i drove 20 miles and when i got to my destination i noticed it was pissing trans fluid all over it coated the whole underside and back window hatch with fluid so waiting for it too cool so i can reseat it.
