Thanks for the update!Update on my random cold start #4 cylinder misfire previously discussed:
https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/...monality-on-misfires.46334/page-3#post-764295
Still waiting on my oil analysis from Blackstone that is at least week behind their usual turn around time as of this writing.
Came up on my 30K mile service this weekend and decide to go ahead and do the spark plug change out and while I was in there swapped the #4 fuel injector and Ignition coil to another position. After all that, still have the #4 cylinder showing a small misfire count on cold startup. So unless the oil analysis shows a coolant issue, probably looking at valvetrain or head issue issue.
At this point, since the intermittent P0304 code is always a pending but never posting and no discernable driving issue or engine noise concern, probably going to just live with it as I know the dealership is not going to jump on this with no hard code setting for the P0304 code.
I will say after doing the spark plug swap by the book from Tech Authority info and the quoted 2.0 hours of shop time they give, there is no way in hell a dealership tech will meet that 2.0 hour quote without being absolutely ham fisted in doing the job. 4.0 would be a more realistic time to do it right. Shop Manual info also does not list out disconnecting wiring stand offs and few other odds and ends that are attached to the upper intake manifold. .
