Test the coil packs?

 

I tried swapping the one from plug 2 to 1 and still the same codes. Also I've seen clogged injectors being an issue but I have no idea how to swap or check them

 

Swap the cylinder 1 coil pack with a different cylinder. If the misfire follows the coil pack then that's your answer. Chances are the o2 sensor code is from the misfire.

I'd expect to see a P0300 code if the CPS was iffy.

 

Just to be sure...the coil packs are the tubes that hokd the plug, right?

 

Correct that's what you pull out to access the spark plug.

Also would a bad 02 sensor be responsible for the engine stalls and misfires?? If so, any luck with non-mopar sensors? I see new on rock auto Bosch for 20

Absolutely could but the misfire will be dumping raw fuel to the exhaust and throwing air/fuel readings out of whack. If you want to replace it anyway it can't hurt but go with a Mopar or NTK sensor. Bosch don't seem to play well with Chrysler products.

easy way to check coil packs...although not really recommended....is to slightly pull one off at a time....you certainly risk being shocked doing it that way though. If you pull one off...and it DOES NOT change how the engine sounds/fires...it's likely bad...if you pull one off and it DOES change (ie, stall/sputter/etc) it's good.

 

Thanks for the quick replies guys, much appreciated. I've tried to switch packs, still issue. There's new ones for 17 on rock auto all 4... I may order those and an o2 sensor but the flashing check engine light really scares me. Can I continue to drive with a misfire for a couple days till I can get it to a shop?

 

If it's continuously flashing I wouldn't, all that fuel is getting dumped into the converter and a new converter is a lot more expensive than a rental car for a couple days.

If you have an Advance Auto close by you can usually get close to RA prices by checking www.retailmenot.com for coupon codes and pick the items up in store.

Also I think you're looking at the wrong part, they don't have any ignition coils listed for a 4 pack at $17. Those are just the boots for the coils.

 

Thank you so much, imma prolly get it towed to my mechanic and see what he says tomorrow, this seems past a driveway fix. Thanks for all the input and I'll update as soon as I can

Brought it in to the shop and it was a bad ignition coil.
