Cylinder 1 misfire

Jarnold said:

Already replaced the plug and coil on 1. Seems worse on cold starts. Seems to almost go away completely after warming up. Any ideas what else it could be?

Hey there and welcome to JCC

Engine ? Model year ? Mileage ? Symptoms ? Thanks...

Hear any ticking? 😢

Yeah the 'seems worse on cold starts' kinda hints at valvetrain chatter...

There is a slight ticking to it.

It's a 2014 Cherokee Limited 2.4 4 cyl.

I should add that I did get a p1061 code that popped up and hasn't come back. But the misfire code has returned.
There is a rocking to it

Thanks. Hmmm, code P1061 means : 'Cylinder No. 1 oil supply solenoid valve stuck.'

What I'm reading on that isn't encouraging. We don't see many problems on this forum with the 2.4L, except oil consumption (low oil issues) and sometimes motor mounts.

Could be you'll need a new 'brick' (aka MultiAir actuator).

How is your oil consumption, if any ? Mileage on that Jeep ?
