Back in July my Jeep had a misfire in two of the cyl and ran rough for a few seconds then smoothed out and everything was fine. This was while the jeep was running. It also threw a code for the evap circuit.
Two days ago on a snow run the I started the jeep after stopping and it ran rough, very low idle. I gave it a little gas and everything smoothed back out.
About 15 minutes later we stopped and I shut it down again. When I started it up it misfired and ran a low rough idle. The oil pressure read zero for about five seconds. gave it a little gas and the pressure shot up to normal and everything smoothed back out. This is when the engine light came on with the misfire codes and I smelt a slight burnt oil smell so I would assume the gauge was right and it did not get oil for a few seconds. I left it running the rest of the day until I got home.
I was going to change the oil, needed it anyway, and add some more engine restore to it as well as check and change the spark plugs. What else should I check and/or replace before trying to fire it back up?
Edit: It's an '01 with a completely stock engine BTW
