Check Engine Code Question - 97 Wrangler

Jun 06, 2004 2 Replies

Hi, My check engine light came on. Codes of 12 43 55. What does this mean? What are the typical causes? Is this an easy fix? thanks, Paul snipped-for-privacy@houston.rr.com

The only code it there that means anything is 43

12 means the battery was disconnected sometime within the last fifty starts and 55 is the end-of-codes marker.

43 - Misfire detected in one or more cylinders 1 thru 6.

Could be anything from a bad tank of gas(low octane/water) to crossfire in the ignition. Try putting some fuel system cleaner in there for the next tank, Chevron Techron is a good brand.

time for new plugs? wires? Go to auto zone... you may have a code that will tell you which plug(s).
