riptricket, Im just kinda curious, how can you have over 1700 posts and not have read that the kj doesnt have a cap and wires? Dont mean anything by it at all Im just wondering..

I'm not really into the technical aspects of the KJ, b/c I do not know a lot about the engine and stuff. I am more about I OWN A JEEP AND I'M PROUD OF IT!!! No offense taken dude!

Hey, theres nothing wrong with that at all! At least you think about it and understand that it needs to be done(unlike most). Not having the cap and wires sure makes it a lot simpler. Just change the plugs and be done with it.

Rip, you are OK by me, at least you own, drive and upgrade your Jeep plus you ask questions, lots better than those that don't know but pretend they do. Hang in there and learn as you go! Tom

In about a year Ill being seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and will be very close to getting out of college!! I guess getting out of college is actually the beginning depending on how you look at it. Either way, I hate college and everything about it..

No spark plug wires and no distributor Better watch out what you say in the future tom, the 09 KK's use 3 spark plug wires and 3 coils packs to fire all 6 of the plugs Im still not 100% sure how they they are able to do this by sharing a coil pack, but i guess it works

You can get KJ 3.7 distributor cap, rotor, and wires at the "dealer", right along with an RX7 timing belt, according to one of our parts suppliers.

I believe Sir Sam is right, two plugs fire and only one is needed. Think its called a waste spark or something fancy..

I still like to work on engines though with the plugs gapped at .025", idle speed was 400 RPM and the firing order was 1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2
