I was having all kinds of issues with my Jeep, until I discovered that the ECM wire harness connector can be wiggled and problems go away. However this is not a cure and eventually problems resurface and connector needs to be adjusted again. Anyone else have this issue and what has been done to resolve it.


The types of problems range from random check engine lights, poor running, limp mode,
Missing a cylinder etc...

Some others have reported similar issues.
They removed the plug, cleaned the pins with some fine sandpaper, sprayed with contact cleaner and some even bent the discolored pins a tiny bit to make better contact. :juggle:

I have the same issue with mine, I found out some of the pins (one at least) are loose. It makes a misfire on cylinder #2.

The best way I found so far is to put dielectric grease to reduce vibration and make sure the harness is no moving around.
