What are the three things you check for when a vehicle will not start?
What is the most common failure on a 4.0?

Fuel, Spark, Compression... You got that one right.
Id say the CPS (crank position sensor) is the most common failure.
Look it up and start reading, cause it happens to everyone eventually.

Ok you can get this one easily. what happens to most jeeps at highway speeds because they;
A, have unbalanced tires,
B, have worn out front end parts,
C, have a cummulation of both!

A large majority of people have probably experienced this!

Edit: it happens because of A,B, and C. What's it called when it happens?

With that attitude I'd give up! Haha jk but u cant be scared of the inevitable. you have a jeep. Things will go wrong. just make a good time out of it! and death wobble won't kill you. And after it's happens a few times, it's almost kinda fun.... <<<did I just say that? I think I need help :0
