Depending on how old the plugs and wires are id go ahead and spend the money to replace 'em and see if that fixes the problem. In fact you could just swap the wire for another wire on the engine and see if that cylinder misfires instead. I don't know what type of wire you have or how many miles are on them but the carbon core wires tend to wear out on the inside where you can't see. Hope this helps...

you would have to move the plug too and see if the problem follows it.
If the wires did get changed and not routed correctly it could cause a misfire too.

The wires you get at the local autoparts store will be just as good or better than the stock ones and cost you less.

New wires did the trick. Now growls like an angry bulldog. It is a bitch getting the wires out and feeding new ones behind the engine. Snapped most of the plastic clips,thankfully zip ties work just aswell. Banged my head on the hood (Ouch,blood splat) ,It's hard working on a lifted Jeep, spent most time kneeling on the stinger bumper. Anyway thanks to all for advice.
