My mom's Jeep Liberty it's 2004 just failed emissions test so unable to reregister again. I haven't talked to my mechanic yet but two things they put down, oxygen censor and misfire in cylinder. Does that misfire mean head gasket or bad plug)wires? Also some rubbing, almost sounds like hubcap sound if had coming from right front tire. Has new brakes, caliber, rotors and jacked it up and brother in law said I was safe,other one said some spring or something. Just seeing what could be said needs to much not worth fixing. It's her only car so trying to figure this out,thanks @DarkWeb being Jeep related or @jeffislovenlife if have a idea for.

Wheel bearing could be spark plugs or wire also could be the coil pack

O and the o2 sensor can make it misfire

Does it smell like rotten eggs when running?
He always gets some of what comes off the grill and he knows it.

Nope and thank you for the help. It does idle really bad when driving it after 20 minutes thinking that might be alternator? With the year I know will be a bunch of stuff already put couple grand past two years.

I had issues similar when I still had Old Gold. Shitty idle ... no acceleration ... struggled at times to even do the speed limit. It was a fluke that I found this - but it turned out to be corrosion in the plug caps. I could see that greenish-blue shit inside where you shoved the plug wire in. Swapped out the corroded caps for nice shiny new ones. Hard to believe it was the same bike. Super steady idle and acceleration that I didn't know existed in that 1000 c.c. block.
So along the lines of what @jeffislovenlife mentioned ... new wires and (if needed) plug caps. Thinking it's the cheapest fix to get things started.

Why are you thinking about the alt I mean unless you are having electrical issues also

Yeah it's got something going on there also. The battery is going on 4.5 years old and I opened windows before I tried starting and wouldn't start so I jumped it with mine but had to keep giving a bit on gas or it would die. Then tried again and idled weird then went normal and ran fine. She mentioned is shakes in front end after driving for a bit so thought might be alt also.

Australian beef…? Interesting. Don’t see that often in stores. Guess the grocery landscape is a changin’

If I was you I'd start with a tune up and get the front end looked at
Probably crocodile lol. Really good deal tho. Less than $30 for three rib steaks.

That's a good start.
Plugs and that is probably ignition packs on the plugs. So no wires. Doesn't sound like an alt problem. Battery would probably be a good idea. I'd definitely check all the work that was done like the brakes and such you mentioned. Make sure that's all properly installed. If the caliper slides where not replaced or checked that would make some shakes while on the brakes. Those are cheap and maybe only need lube.

O it's one of them ok I'm going with a spark plug them packs are less likely to go bad

... except crocodile steaks look more like pork chops.

Used to be an alligator dish on the menu at N’awlins, a Jazz place over on King St. Was delish. But yes, it’s very much chicken or pork like in texture
