Re: Cylinder dead and now alive
F.D.S., Jeep came out with a TSB to fix this problem that occurred during
the '96 to '98 model year on the 4.0L engine. It's actually a misfire
condition that is caused by valve float caused by a bad batch of weak valve
springs during those two model years. The fix is to replace the valve
springs with the newer/stronger valve springs with a new p/n. Your dealer
will have the TSB information. No amount of replacing ignition parts, fuel
injectors, etc. will help. Ask me how I know about that last point? ;)

Re: Cylinder dead and now alive
P.S. the stalling is likely caused by a defective CPS (crankshaft position
sensor) which will cause intermittent stalling totally unrelated to the '43'
code.
