I guess it was time to change them.
They were Champions and I wonder if that isn't the original standard OEM plug. In any case I have replaced them with NGK V-powers. i didn't try to pull the whole coil pack rail out since it is a challenge to just to get it off the plugs without removing a whole pile of other stuff so I could not check the harness all that well.
The Jeep seems to idle better and unfortunately my cheapie dongle doesn't want to connect to my laptop just now so I couldn't see whether I have cured the misfire, my plug in verion only reads codes that have been stored and the misfire in 3 wasn't being stored, just reported.
Jeep runs well and seems to idle better as well as giving me just a little piece of mind about the inner operation with the nice evenly worn plugs!
Thanks for all the advice & help!

The injectors are the 784s that pretty much everyone on the boards recommended. Something happened when I removed them to fix the o ring. I know there is no fuel leaking now, so the fuel pressure is higher than when I drove the it this weekend when the injector was leaking.
Thanks again.

I plan on going to 97+ doors to fix it lol. Figure I'm going yo have to cut and replace/re weld anyways, might as well upgrade. If you weren't looking to cut off and wled in, isn't there shims or something in the door latch or hinge for adjustment? I can't remember.

I dont think that there are... im gonna look at putting the door on a bottle jack and see if the hinges move. If so try to tack the hinges back and weld em up good... Thick metal hinge to thin sheet metal, what size rod should i use for my arc welder?

Out of my scope with that one... I'm still learning about my mig... my pops knows all about the arc... lol.
I like that tactic though. Might have to try that before I go Frankenstein on 97+ doors.

I hope I am posting in the right forum. I am new here.
I am having problems with my 2000 Cherokee Sport. I keep blowing headlight switches. My headlights with start to bllink and I can usually get them back on if I wiggle the switch, but it only works for a little while. I think I am on my third of fourth switch in 2 years. I have tried different brands to see if that makes a difference. It doesn't. Any help would be appreciated. I work night and this is becoming a big problem for me.
