Replying to: jasonkarch (May 13, 2008 7:33 pm) Usually the problem isn't the coil...check other things 1st |

Replying to: jasonkarch (May 13, 2008 7:33 pm) 1. - Clogged or dead fuel injector...no gas=no fire... 2. Bad coil - If you're getting fuel, I'm not convinced you're getting a good spark at cylinder # 1...if I remember right...the car idles very rough...take off the spark plug wire for cylinder # 1 and start the motor...can you tell any difference? If its no worse, maybe you've got a bad coil... |

Replying to: 442dude (Apr 25, 2008 9:42 am) The missing and consequent stalling does not seem to be getting worse and maybe its even stalling less now, but it sure is not over. IF it persists much longer, I'm going to try removing the wire from the spark plug on that number one cylinder to see if it suddenly gets more noisy or not. I know a bad coil is rare, but its possible.

Replying to: fleastiff (May 21, 2008 11:27 pm) It still makes an awful racket while backing up though. I conclude that the various fuel-injector treatments have helped but not yet cured the problem. I intend to continue with the two remaining bottles that I have and then will see what my options are.

Replying to: 442dude (May 29, 2008 4:43 am) That has been my secret fear: that if one or two bottles didn't cure it, ten additional bottles won't cure it either because its more than just a clogged nozzle. >pull the spark plug on the cylinder that's misfiring and see how it looks Well, I can look in the owner's handbook to figure out which cylinder is number one and I can compare that new plug to nearby and equally accessible spark plugs or just look at it and try to figure out if it looks clean or fouled or what. Its going to be a real project though ... no wrenches much less spark plug wrenches. A pair of pliers, a hammer, some socket wrenches ... thats about it.(And it would probably take me an hour just to find where those tools have wandered off to).
