Assuming this is a 4.0 liter engine it doesnt use plug wires any longer....it uses a coil pack. this runs down the passenger side of the engine and the plugs are under it. 4 13mm headed bolts hold the coil pack to the engine assembly

Plug, plug wire, plugged or open fuel injector. are the most likely.

I changed the plugs, but I still have the check engine light on. According to Advanced Auto, the computer logged that there was a missfire in the cylinder. I realize that it could still be the fuel injectors, but another question I have is there any chance that the computer would still keep the check engine light on after I left the battery terminal unhooked after a half hour? I heard that some vehicles need to have an automotive technician reset the computer inorder to clear the light.
Burnt valve would back fire and run rough, burn oil, wouldn't it? The vehicle isnt experiencing any of these.
I have been trying to diagnose a simular problem. 01 Cherokee, starting missing very badly, check engine light is on and blinking when the missing is very bad. Replaced coil pack, crank sensor, cam sensor, on the 3rd computer. Have come to the conclusion that it starts is bad missing when drifting down long hills with foot off the throttle. In order to clear the flashing check engine light I have to turn the car off and start again. A little nerve racking while moving 40mph.
