yah i replaced plugs and wires thinking it might be that but it wasn't. it throws a multiple misfire code every couple months. i usually just clear it and keep driving. it hasn't thrown a code in like 4 months but you can hear it missfire when its idling. plus i think i got a blown head gasket or valve cover gasket cause she leaks oil pretty good.

Well, the bad head gasket will cause a misfire for sure. You should notice steam out the exhaust if its bad, or water consumption in the radiator.
lol ur jeep kinda sounds like my jeep. mine is a 91 Cherokee 2 dr 4.0L. I got it for free with over 200k miles on it, it was driven in NYC for all that and its been a few not so serious accidents. the left and right mirrors were broken so i fixed those, manifold gasket was leaking oil so i fixed that, water pump broke so i fixed that, then radiator broke so i replaced that, my entire exhaust including the cat fell off on the highway so i got a brand new exhaust, and my right front U(?) joint is about to break so i have to fix that next. all in all i had the car for a month and i have spent 800 bucks repairing it and for some reason not known to me I LOVE MY JEEP!!!! My next car is going to be a wrangler for sure!! And Im only 21 just moved to MI to live on my own and im working like 3 jobs so yeah i understand how its not easy and can be frustrating to keep spending money on the car.
oh and my oil leak problem hasnt been fixed it!! lol
