That's what this forum is all about--> sharing information, resulting in saving others money$$$.

I only share my information on this site, because I am a proud owner of an H3

I have customers come into the shop and charge upto $129.00, just for the diagnosis.

This is a great site, with a ton of information, saving others some money$$$

Also it may go a month and the light not come back on,,,and just every once inna while it will do the bucking and loss of power thing,,but you can feel it has a skip in it at idle!! But it don't lose power every time the light comes on,,,,,I'm tired of buying parts,,,,I love the dang thing,,I've had it about a year and this started right after buying it!! May See another Hawg or Jeep Unlimited in the near future,,,,if this continues!!!

Did you do a compression test in cyl 1? What did plug 1 look like when you removed it...was it wet with gas? Might be worth the hour diagnostic at the dealer...

Did you already take care of the old water/moisture via hood problem?
Correct gap on spark plugs? This can be a significant impact.
TB clean...etc.
i would follow Hummerz ideas/thoughts/advise in this thread for resolution.
Hope it helps...

Update for myself: my girl is still puuurrring and running great.

If a leak down test was done to verify the issue is in the head you most likely have a head issue...
