Dist.-cap, rotor, fuel press, or filter. Pretty much depends whether it misses more under load, at idle etc. I'd START by listening for vacuum leak. Uncontrolled air intake is a fairly common reason for misses, stumbles, jerks and coughs.
Let the engine idle, listen through a length of 5/16" hose, CAREFULLY, around the intake to head, throttle-body to intake, around fittings etc. Lots of plastic hoses/lines break inside rubber boots etc.

If you haven't replaced the crackshaft position sensor, consider doing that.

battery or electrical problem by kmoreland3

I have a 2006 Jeep Laredo. It will start somedays and somedays it won't. If it has been jumped off, it will start for about 3 days. Took it to the local Jeep dealer. They couldn't find anything wrong except to get a new battery. Did that and the problem is still there. Has anyone had the same problem?

97 Grand Cherokee Water on Passenger Floor. by Dallas_danco

There was a Tech article on drilling a hole in the center of the round plastic at the bottom of the Evaporator core to allow clean out. The Problem is with age the Foam "seal that goes between the firewall and the evaporator core breaks down. Whe you park on an up hill grade the water runs out the drain and back down the pipe to the firewall. When this seal is bad it will soak the carpet. Also while driving it can blow back into the passenger compartment. I fixed Mine by cutting the bottom portion of the evaporator housing with nylon string. Then using fiber glass and some carbon fiber tube made collection cup that I hooked some plastic hose too and drilled a whole and dumped it out the wheel well with a 90 degree elbow. I silliconed in some sheet metal to seal the factory hole. My fathers 98 dodge truck had the same problem. But on those tou can put some hose on it from the engine compartment side and rout it down a few inches to avoid the blowback onto the firewall.

2000 JGC Leather Wrapped Wheel Peeling ... buy Wheelskin? by nj_johnk
Jan 26, 2009 (6:42 pm)
Reply
I have a 2000 JGC with tan leather wrapped steering wheel. The tan color on the leather wrapped wheel has partially peeled off. There are also age cracks in the leather which yield the ugliest steering wheel possible. (It seems the tanning process used was more like a paint then actually tanning the leather.)
 
Any suggestions from others that have fixed this? I was considering buying a new leather wrap from Wheelskins. I suppose the old leather wrap should be cut-off the wheel before adding a new wrap? Any suggestions welcome - I have no experience with wheel wraps.

Heated seats by cwmccomb

Neither heated seat button lights up nor do the seats heat up, this is both for the driver and passenger seats. Could this be as simple as a fuse? I do not notice any other issues, at this time. Any help would be appreciated before it has to go in the shop.

2000 JGC Cylinder 3 misfiring by deratristar
Jan 31, 2009 (8:57 pm)

My 2000 JGC has a problem with cylinder 3 misfiring. Happened last year, and we replaced the plugs. Problem seemed to go away, but same error code this year again. Could the coil boot be bad? Or the coil pack? (Hope it isn't the pack... they aren't cheap). Any other ideas?
