Hey guys,
Looking for some help. This is my first post btw so be gentle.
Anyway, over the past few months I have noticed a vibration and power loss when my engine hits higher RPM's. The vibration definitely comes from the engine as I can feel it in the pedals only and I can feel it losing alot of power once the vibration starts. I don't have a tach to I dont know exactly what RPM's it occurs at but it is above cruising rotations. It is most noticeable during acceleration.
It does it in all gears. Even in neutral. A mechanic friend of mine said that the engine may be misfiring. I wanted some jeep guys to put in their two cents though. Hopefully by the time I'm done on this thread I will have a dollar.
Thanks a ton in advance!

1st thing I would do is check the spark plugs and wires. Put in the Champion plugs for best results. A full tune up would benefit you the most if it is in fact a misfire. You could probably do the whole tune- up for about $40 when all is said and done.
