Money, thank you. I guess I could have looked under the hood before going on a wild goose chase seeing as they are labeled and all...
Seems like it's the ignition coil for that cylinder...cleared the code and swapped the coils from #2 and #4 we will have to wait and see if the misfire follows the coil.
If that isn't it next is spark plugs, then injectors then a valve...I'm hoping it's early on in my list, I really don't want to have to open the heads up.
Spark plugs are for Wusses! Glow plugs are where it's at
What kind of vehicle is it?

Until you have to do any kind of repair on them. An oil change at the local shop is $29.95 (a lot of other stuff added into the oil change). That same shop for a diesel is around the $801-$100.
And you don't have the lag time with gas engines

It's a Jeep.
My old nitro RC truck had a glow plug haha
I would love to have a big diesel truck but I have absolutely no need for one. The Jeep tows just fine, if I have to replace it a newish Access Cab Tacoma is high on my list.

Little off on oil changes, it's about 150 here, that's because of the filter and 15 qts of oil.
Lag time: it's meant for towing not racing, if you want to eliminate lag buy a chip. I do landscaping and snowplowing so a diesel is good for me because of weight when plowing and towing when landscaping. (although I've gone over weight a few times) :/
I switched the coil on plug between the #2 and #4 cylinder and now it's driving like a champ... I don't get it. I guess I'll wait until it happens again and pull the code. I'm hoping its either the coil on plug or the spark plug otherwise it might get a tad more expensive and complicated.
From what I've read if it isn't the coil, the plug or the injector it's one of the valves hanging up and that'll pretty much ruin my day. If that's the case I may be in the market for a new set of wheels, I've already put too much money into this thing and tearing into the valvetrain wont be cheap or easy. The Tacomas are pretty nice though
Yeah if it winds up being a valve issue I'd flip it for something else. Not worth putting that much into a Jeep.
A Tacoma with stage 2 Icon suspension, 33s and a front locker will go anywhere you'd ever want. Toyotas with slightly longer travel IFS are quickly closing the gap with SFA trucks off road performance wise.

Anyone hear about that shooting at the movie theater in Colorado? That must have been a horrible scene. Praying for all the victims and responders.
You can buy tastykake pies online. For some reason though, you can't get them straight from the factory, only the krimpets and such. And they taste just the same. Here
You sound like my wife lol.
Then I remind her how much money we save by me fixing our junk and she hushes.
I can go nuts on car talk.
So today I find out an industrial health company is paying EMTBs $60k a year to be oil field "Hydration Technicians"....Water Boys
And what does the water boy do???
He makes sure the oil rig guys are hydrating and tracks their PO fluid intake.
Can I be an EMTB again?

That is good!
Downside: You're stuck in a boring camp, miles away from civilization, with nothing to do and surrounded by other men with not a woman to be seen.
I might have to work the rigs for some "experience" (if you can call it that), but I definitely don't want to make it a long term thing - even despite making truckloads of cash.

I listened to the radio traffic from the CO shooting. Sounded like chaos.
