Find the fuel rail and it’s this little flanged piece on top (i didn’t circle it well)

Do not go full orangutan on the oil pan bolt. Thread it in by hand and then use a wrench to give it a tug. Bolts are easy to break or strip until you’ve gotten a “feel” for how tight certain things need to be. The last thing you want is to need a $300 oil pan replaced.
I would guess 50/50 chance or less considering you’ll have your headlights on in the morning. No fan, no heat, no radio. Can you take the charger with you? Are you driving a 2020 V8 Mercedes with 25 computer modules and touchscreens or a 90s 4cyl with 2 modules? Getting there should be an issue. 80% chance if fully charged. But getting back without recharge? Nahhhhh
Yeah that sounds like the regulator 100% though. Take it off, clean it, and try to blow through it. If air flows through, it’s losing pressure once parked.
Could be a coil intermittently failing. VQs are known for them. Once it starts misfiring again, unplug each coil while running. If the misfire gets way worse, hook it back up and move to next coil. When you unplug once and it makes almost no difference, that’s your problematic coil. Only use Hitachi or Denso coils.
Aaking if a Jeep/Chrysler is a good purchase in this subreddit is a good way to earn some downvotes. 50+% of Jeeps are money pits at 10 years old. Do you have the finances to repair it if needed? But no, a battery is not a huge red flag. Most last 3-5 years. That previous driver may have done a lot of short trips or listened to the radio a lot. I still vote automatic nope on anything jeep unless it’s like $5k under comparable prices and then spend $200 to get it inspected
Can you turn it by hand at the crankshaft? Big ass wrench on the harmonic balancer bolt and twist clockwise. Be careful not to leave the wrench on there if you go try to use the key. Bad times
Depends on the car. A lot of the Asian cars I’ve worked with are pretty pissy when the fins are damaged or flow is disturbed. It would be enough to cause a stall or anything but fuel trims might be a little off. Combine that with another AF ratio issue and things get out of whack.
Fuel rails are nearly the same. Look for the small device on the farthest endcof the rail from the fuel in from the tank. I can try to find one at lunch
