That can be caused by an number of reasons. The most common is a misfire or a multiple cylinder misfire. This can me caused from an internal oil leak into the spark plugs. You can go to an Auto Zone or any place like that and they can hook the Jeep up to a diagnostic machine to let you know what the code is. That will help you figure out where to start to fix the problem. If the light is flashing do not drive it because it is something more serious.

use a code scanner to find out. You should be able to borrow an OBDII code scanner from an auto parts retailer in your area.
