help a newb with his busted 07 jk. goofiest problem ever!
hi all. joy. my first post is cuz i somehow broke my jeep?
k. done it a million times so i do it on my jeep and....what a head scratcher?? massive misfire issue after changing the plugs. my old plugs were toast. YES. i did it right. no cross threads. gap is good, the right plugs, firing order is correct and everything is seated properly....what gives?
engine light is flashing...runs like a bag of...not drivable. well, it 'is' but i don't want to do damage. i tried the old wires too just in case i had a bad set. no dice. can't get a code either. it just shows dashes then says 'done'. obviously it's a multiple cyl misfire but why? the only thing i can think is that the better conductivity killed the coil pack? is that even possible? help

Pull the plugs one at a time to zero in on which one is causing the mis-fire and work on solving it from there.
Could be the coil pack, or even a bad plug.
good luck.
