Possible codes P0201, P0202, P0203, P0204, P0205, P0206, P0207, P0208 System: Emissions/PCM/Fuel Codes: P0201, P0202, P0203, P0204, P0205, P0206, P0207, P0208 Problem: The PCM software falsely sets injector circuit codes when there is really no problem with the injectors. The problem is voltage spikes from the Throttle Position Sensor. Test & Fix: Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) voltage spikes greater than 0.02 volts trigger these false codes. Theoretically, this could be caused by an intermittent ground or other wiring connection. However in actual practice it is almost always a problem with the TPS itself. Due to the nature of this problem there is no conclusive way to test the TPS or the TPS circuit. If there are multiple injector circuit codes with no misfire, replace the TPS and clear the codes. something to look into: |

You've got to unplug nearly every single connection on top of the motor since the wiring loom is in the way. You then need to make sure you have a fuel quick-disconnect tool to pop the feed line off the fuel rail. Then you just remove 4 bolts (2 per side) and gently tug the rail until it releases. Pop the retaining clips off each injector and wiggle the old injector out. Easy, right? And of course: Quote:
Installation is the reverse of removal.

Wet plug? Too much fuel. Would match my assumption of running rich causing a misfire. Leaky injector. Time to replace. |

I don't know the gap for a 4.7L V8 plug, I do know that any plug with Platinum in the description is a BAD idea. You need Champion or NGK copper core spark plugs, even in a 4.7L V8. There's an FSM by Daimler-Chrysler somewhere that STRONGLY urges against using any spark plugs other than copper core. Quote:

Mattyjm | This should be a STRONG indicator. |

4.7 v8 01 wj Fixed misfire one 4, ended up being plug 5 and 2 still no prevail. No air leaks, good fuel, good comp. next is to test the wiring. If I unplug the coil while it’s running on 5 or 2, nothing changes Quote:

Change CoP packs to see if misfire changes cylinders. Next would be injectors. |

The misfires on 2 and 4 only happen when driving and 5 slowly happens at random even at idle. I remove the coil connector for 5 and it gets tougher so it can’t be a dead cylinder. Next plan is to swap coil packs and see if it follows. If not I’ll check the plugs. Anyone had a problem similar to this?
What spark plugs are you running in it? What year is your WJ? How many miles are on the new engine? Was it a junkyard swap or did you purchase a new long block? 4.7 v8 01 wj Fixed misfire one 4, ended up being plug 5 and 2 still no prevail.
