P0300 - misfiring in 1 and 3

Asked by Dee Mar 12, 2019 at 08:54 AM about the 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have an 09 Gr Cherokee with a 4.7, with about 78k miles on it. Both sets of
plugs (upper and lower) were changed with same brand and part number
that was in it before.
About 100 miles later, car began to miss, check engine light flashing. Code
P0300 was a pending code.
Over the course of the last week I have:
Put original plugs back in
Swapped coils
Swapped boots
Swapped wires
Swapped injectors
Compression tested all 8 and they are all almost identical
When at idle, at first start up, I can watch cylinders #1 and #3 misfire, then
stop misfiring when idle evens out. If gas pedal depressed/engine revved,
misfires come back. They also come back under load
I have just removed the intake manifold to check gasket and to see better
into the cylinder.
Going to put new gasket in, but I'm at a loss at what to do next

Docyou have a scantool to see what your fuel trims are at idle/high rpm, or can you check fuel pressure under a load situation?

You can also have a crank sensor problem cause random misfires. Esp if it has an air gap issue

Freeze frame STFT is 2.3% on bank 1 Live STFT at idle bank one 5.7% bank two 7.9% STFT at 2500 is where it gets interesting bank one -9.2% bank two 11.1% So now it has new injector O rings and intake manifold gaskets. Also took all of the sheathing off of the loom for the injectors and coils but no rubs. Have a ckp coming for Sunday but I hate shotgunning parts. I'm missing something and I'm going to feel like Bobo when I figure it out
