I was on my way out to run a couple errands when all of a sudden the Jeep stalled out and died. It wouldn't restart or anything. Right after i checked the codes with the key-click method and the only code was for misfire. I figured amybe some water got into the cap and was causing some arching. I pulled the cap off and no water was in there. It was dry. The cap, rotor, plugs, and coil was all changed a few months back. I checked the bleed valve in the fuel rail and made sure there was fuel there and there was.
One guy was nice enough to stop and we pulled a plug to check for spark. He grounded the plug while I cranked it and no spark. I figured if it was the CPS then there would be a code for it. Since nothing new was happening I called Triple A and had it towed back home, which is where it is now.
Everything being new do you guys have any ideas on what else I should check. Later on today I will unplug the coil and make sure voltage is getting to the plug. If so then I will see if there is spark going from the coil. What is the easiest way to check this?
If the coil went out there wouldn't be a code for it, right? I did some searching and saw mention of an ignition control module. What is that? Would that cause any codes itself? I also checked the codes with a plug in code reader and there were no codes that way as well. It looks like the misfire code is gone now. What else could cause the thing to misfire?
