Misfire "as told by a mechanic"
10

Asked by Mohamed Aug 23, 2018 at 03:00 PM about the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Stuttering or hesitation. My car suddenly had a
stutter after an oil change specially while going
uphill on cruise control. Sometimes check engine
light goes off and car runs smooth. Changed the
spark plugs and it was okay for a day then back to
the same problem. Drained out the oil and changed
with specific oil type "as on the lid" and again it ran
smoothly for a day then back to the same problem.
Need advice before going to the dealer and
spending money I don't have.

Sounds like a misfire,Check engine light will flash when engine is missing,Why don't you just start with the simple,replace the spark plugs.You should be able to do that on your own.you tube it if you need help.

Thanks for your reply. I did already and the check engine light came back after a day. This morning check engine light went off. Pretty sure it will come back later afternoon

@Mohamed: Did this ever get resolved? My 2015 Grand Cherokee started doing this a couple weeks ago. Check engine light flashed once very briefly, but apparently no codes were stored. Haven’t changed the spark plugs yet, so that will be my first step, but you say that didn’t help. Hoping you found the fix. - Dan
