I have a 2007 jeep wrangler and when i parked it into a spot it was fine but all of sudden with my foot on the brake in gear D it’s suddenly shut off. It turned on perfectly fine again in gear P but when i put to Drive or Reverse she shakes pretty good then shuts off again. Mechanic's Assistant: How many miles are on the Jeep? Have you noticed any fluid leaks lately? About 230,000 but i had replaced some big parts a couple of years ago and a little leak but i believe its anti freeze Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Wrangler yourself? What have you tried so far? I havent tried anything yet so far but i was going to try and see if it might be a clogged fuel injector maybe, so i was going to put in an injector cleaner and then some gas and let it run for about 25 mins amd see if that would help Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? No just wanna know how i can possibly fix this issue or know what the issue is

okay hello?

Hi, my name is\*\*\*\*\* to justanswer. Lets see if we cant get you rolling again. With the Jeep in park and engine running, is there a noticeable shake in the motor? **\*\*During this conversation you will be given an automated offer for a phone call from justanswer, not me. You may accept or decline that offer. I don’t personally offer this service so if you take this another tech may call. Thank you\*\***

not in park noonly shakes a bit when in drive or reverse then shuts off
Automotive Expert
Its possible the engine is misfiring. It may not be so noticeable when the engine is at idle in park, but when put under a load or strain, such as putting in gear, the misfire is more pronounced.

okay so is there any possible ways to fix this issue?i was thinking maybe it was a clogged fuel injector so i was going to try and add an injector cleaner and then put gas after and let the car run for 25 mins and see if that helpsis this a good idea?
Automotive Expert
Well...it might work. A misfire is usually ignition or fuel related. So it might be worth a try.

okay ill give that a try but if that doesnt go well any suggestions?
Automotive Expert
Is the check engine light on?

it is but its been on for years and the cars run smoothly up until now
Automotive Expert
Interesting. BUT there may be more than one code now. I would start with checking codes. It may help pinpoint which cylinder is misfiring and then go from there. It could be a coil issue. So checking spark would be the next step.

okay ill give that a trythanks again
