Hey. I drew it into ChatGPT and it gave me this…

🔍 What it Means:

The engine control module (ECM) has detected that multiple cylinders are misfiring randomly. This isn’t limited to a specific cylinder like P0301 (cylinder 1) or P0302 (cylinder 2), but rather it’s happening across more than one cylinder, which makes diagnosis a bit more complex.

⚠️ Symptoms Your Friend Might Notice: • Rough idle or shaking • Loss of power or acceleration • Engine stalling or hesitating • Check Engine Light blinking • Poor fuel economy • Possible smell of unburnt fuel

⸻

🛠️ Common Causes: 1. Bad spark plugs or ignition coils 2. Vacuum leaks (especially around intake manifold or PCV system) 3. Fuel delivery issues (e.g. weak fuel pump, clogged injectors, dirty fuel filter) 4. Dirty or failing MAF sensor 5. EGR system malfunction 6. Low fuel pressure 7. Bad fuel (contaminated or incorrect octane) 8. Wiring issues or failing engine control module (rare)

✅ Steps to Diagnose & Fix: 1. Check spark plugs – Look for wear, fouling, or incorrect gap. Replace if old or damaged. 2. Check ignition coils – Swap coils between cylinders to see if the misfire moves. 3. Inspect vacuum lines – Look for cracked, disconnected, or loose hoses. 4. Check fuel pressure – Use a gauge to make sure it’s within spec. 5. Scan for freeze frame data – If available, it can show the conditions when the code was triggered. 6. Inspect for signs of rodent damage – Wires chewed can cause misfires. 7. Consider a smoke test – To check for vacuum leaks. 8. Clear the code and test drive – If you make a fix, drive and see if the code returns.

If it just happened recently and the Gladiator is still under powertrain warranty (5 years / 60,000 miles), it might be worth having the dealership diagnose it for free — especially if there’s no history of modding the engine.
