Default 1st cylinder miss-fire

Changed all plugs, wires, cap n rotor, changed the 1st plug a second time and still a misfire ? Jeep still rinds and drivable doesn't bog-out almost like its a late fire but still need to fix this problem if any one has any input or similar problem that they fixed, some feed back would be great

Do a compression test and make sure it's not a mechanical issue.

You can also swap the injector to another cylinder to see if the misfire moves.
