Dam I figured id ask for advice on a jeep forum if I wanted some gossip that sounded like a bunch of teenagge girls I would of turned on mtv for teen mom haha and considering I've done the coil pack I'm sure I know how to check a spark plug. Yes its a 2000, and since the coolant was leaking out of the cap there was barely any left so I had to clean that out and throw in fresh fluid

I agree, jeep neglect like that boarderlines on criminal, mine gets drained and flushed every year on all my vehicles. They say coolant is good for 100,000 miles. So I think some people don't remove the cap untill the day it hits 100,000 miles. And mixing coolants wont do that, ive mixed all kinds. Even used dex-cool in a pinch. Now mixing different types of trans fluid can get ugly.
