I have a 98 TJ w/ 4.0 & auto trans, that my daughter drives. She tells me that it is skipping so I check codes. got a p0301, misfire cyl 1. I changed the plugs, still missing. Swaped wires and cap, still same code. could it be the injector? Any help appreciated..
 
It seems to drive fine, just misses at idle. checked the injector. its ok. gonna do a compression test and see what that looks like. maybe a dirty valve.
 
Swap injectors to see if it jumps to a different cylinder. Also the spark plug, but do one at a time. If that doesn't work you can sea foam it to try to remove carbon build up on the valves.
