#1 of 2 Cylinder Misfire by fire93 Apr 23, 2009 (12:22 am)
I have a 2005 Envoy 4.2 I6. About 2 years ago we had the ECM replaced with our extended warranty because it was throwing codes. Just recently it started to throw codes. I hooked the computer up to it, and it is reading P0305-cylinder 5 misfire. I replaced all the spark plugs with Bosch Platinum 4's and cleared the codes. The same day, it threw the same code. So I got a new coil and replaced the one in cylinder 5. Again, cleared the code and came back. Took the new coil and moved it to a different cylinder to see if it was the coil and still getting the same code. I have tested the battery, which is sitting within normal range. Hooked a ground wire from the ECU to a different ground to make sure that there was an adequate ground and got nothing. I have looked at the graph on the computer while the car is running and all injectors are pushing the same amount of fuel through them. I am at a loss of what to do. Can anyone help steer me in the right direction? Replies to this message: mhage (May 09, 2009 8:17 pm)

Replying to: fire93 (Apr 23, 2009 12:22 am) I brought my Envoy in and they came back later and said that I had the same problem. Without my permission, they also ran a leakdown test and claim that I have something going on with that same cylinder (stuck valve, broken valve spring, scored cylinder).
