Doesn’t have a steady backfire just a rumbling noise. Was going to include video but can’t figure out how to load it.

I’m official Dumb Ass! I crossed 3 & 5 plug wires on the plug side. All is good now, glad I didn’t just try to start throwing a bunch of parts at it. Running a lot smoother all though the RPM’s have been sticking high occasionally hope it is just learning the new set up. Thanks for all the input.

Common issue. I could not pass smog and took it to my mechanic who replaced the cat and solved the issue. I had about 30000 miles on it but it was mainly a hard core wheeler. I had another 2007 JKU that went 200,000 miles without any issues what so ever.

Default P0303 on a 2008 JK

Been down that road now, replacing injectors myself and then against my better judgment I was a fool and took my 2008 JK into the dealership. DID NOT FIX THE F'N PROBLEM. After explaining what I'd done to tackle the misfire problem to the dealership service rep and mechanic, they did their typical shite of blaming nonmopar parts for the problem. I humored them and said sure, replace with MOPAR and when it doesn't fix it, you aren't charging me for it. We got through replacing the brand new NGK plugs, wires, new NAPA sourced coil, Napa crank position sensor cam position sensor, refurbished mopar injectors (tab running to $2700) and all the service rep could tell me was well it helped... a little, but it's still throwing the P0303 code. Mechanic claimed the injector was bad because it was hot (temperature hot). My retort to him was it's hot because it's getting a constant signal to remain open, so likely a harness issue; he waved me off. At that point,I blew a gasket and had a sit down with the actual service manager. Result: Mechanic reinstalled all my parts and I walked out the door with $400 and a week of my time less, but that was it. Still getting P0303 and check engine, but it triggers on start up. Jeep runs fine after first few seconds. Thinking it's either fuel pump/pressure related, TIPM or injector harness related although the inspection of the connectors and main harness yielded no identifiable shorts or breaks. After much searching to ID a quality mechanic who'll diagnose as opposed to parts swap, taking it into them later this week.
