Will it cost me money to ask Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your car? Its a 2008 jeep liberty Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Liberty yourself? What have you tried so far? It just started doing this in the last couple days so I am researching reasons. Mechanic's Assistant: Will the headlights turn on? Is the battery fully charged? Yes Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? Its happens when accelerating going up an incline. Shakes and struggles if I keep accelerating it eventually comes out of it...so far but it's getting worse.

Hello and thank you for using JustAnswer. My name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I will do my best to assist you.. I help many customers, so sometimes my replies are delayed, I will respond once available. During this conversation you will be given an automated offer for a phone call. You may accept or decline that offer.I don’t personally offer this service so if you take this another tech may call. That sounds like a misfire condition, do you have a check engine light on ?

It came on then went right back off a few times during the sputtering.
Automotive Expert
yes that would be a misfire, you can do a few things, you can pull codes and troubleshoot the cylinder or replace plugs and coils and see if that fixes it as well.

Ok? Is this something I can do myself with some instructions -say from YouTube or should I find someone that has some experience?
Automotive Expert
if you have never done it before I would recommend to have someone do it, but I dont know your skill level so its up to you and yes there are a ton of videos online that show you how to. you also want to get the right plugs and coils. ill be right back with the correct ones. plugs for that are NGK zfr6f-11g and you want mopar or ngk coils

I know how to put gas in and oil but that's about it. I told my husband several times what it has been doing but he doesn't seem concern because his Silverado is running good. His name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* ironic don't you think.
Automotive Expert
haha that is weird, I would def be concerned.

Thanks- me too since I am the one that travels to work at night. Crossing state lines via The Columbia River... would not like getting stranded on the way.
Automotive Expert
sure thing, if anything else comes up just let me know!

Ok.Thank you
