How many spark plugs does a Jeep Patriot have?
For the last week or so, my Jeep has been making a weird knocking sound when I drive it. I’ve heard that engine sounds can sometimes be related to bad spark plugs, so I want to try swapping mine out for new ones. How many spark plugs does a Jeep Patriot have?

You could be right! Although there are several reasons why your car’s engine might be knocking, a set of old or worn-out spark plugs is often the culprit. If you want to try repairing your
Jeep Patriot
on your own, you’ll need a set of four spark plugs, or one for each cylinder in your four-cylinder engine.Here are a few of the other signs that could mean you have bad spark plugs:
- Your engine takes a long time to turn over or you can’t start your car at all.
- Your car vibrates or makes a rumbling sound while idling.
- Accelerating feels sluggish or jerky.
- Poor gas mileage.
