why is my car skipping and motor light is on?

What is your question?

I was driving today and the car seemed to skip ever so often. I thought it was cold . This afternoon I got in it to drive again and now the motor light is on and it is skipping worse. Even idling it seems to be jumping. The motor light stopped going on and off. Now it is staying on completely. I do hear a noise but I think that is the skipping noise.

What makes this problem better or worse?

It just seemed to get worse the next time I drove it.

How long has your 2006 Jeep Liberty had this problem?

Hello, Dave here, contributing to RepairPal and providing expert advice since 2010. That "motor" light indicator is something that is saying there is a concern with engine performance that needs some troubleshooting to figure out. Hands on testing is needed. The engine's processor will have stored and perhaps active diagnostic trouble codes (DTC's) that provide clues to help lead a technician towards a starting point for hands on testing. It's impossible -- and not helpful --- to guess based on your symptoms alone. Get some hands on testing to figure out what's happening to resolve the concerns. https://repairpal.com/auto-repair-near-me Click the link or call us at 877-913-1554. We'll gladly find you a certified RepairPal shop in your area.
