misfiring ka

[benarovi561]

well pos is misfiring again. changed the spark plugs gapped right. checked plug wires thats good. im thinkin fuel injectors. any thoughts of what i should do would be great. oh and its only one cylinder.

[benarovi561]

forgot to mention that its only misfires sometimes.

Pull your plug wires out one at a time and look at the plastic sleeve that goes in the spark plug tube. They are bad to burn thru the sides and arch under loads. You should see some white spots. When you look closer you can see holes. If they are burnt then replace the plug wires with a good set.

plastic?? wtf are you talking about lol. the rubber boot at the end of it on one of the plugs broke off and i ripped it taking it out and its now super glued on. but thats for a diff. cylnender. the cylinder 1 is misfiring.

how did you figure out that its cyl # 1 ?

[rioredstang]

Sounds like a bad set of wires to me. Check injector harness plug on #1. Could be dirty or loose connector.

while it was misfiring i unplugged the first spark plug wire and it didnt change at all. and did it to all the others to be safe. thats how.

ok. and the wires your talking about the injector wire right

[benarovi561]

ok the fuel injector is working when it misfires. so #1 cylinder is getting fuel, but no spark. when i take the plug wire out and it hits against the cylinder wall, i can see spark. wtf is it? somebody help please. i drive out of my neiborhood and it goes away. didnt come back. wtf lol

Sounds like your spark plug boot is burned through.

what he said , dont buy oreillys wires if you do buy new wires, they fall apart, buy something good like ngk they're cheapish and reliable

yeah its not burn. as i said before, the only thing that happened to one was it got cut up. and that was for cylinder #2 and cylinder #2 is not misfiring! there some cheap a** spark plug wires. its getting fuel, not spark, but when i take the spark plug wire out and hit it against the cylinder walll, i can see spark. even at the distributor rotor cap, i pull it out and i can see spark.

[sx moneypit]

Since you have one screwed up wire,just go ahead and put a set on it. Or you can try swapping the number 1 and number 2 wires and see what happens.

Its funny that they answered your question but you dont want the answer. To explain it to you your car has distributor. If its sending spark that works properly. The only thing left that can cause that problem would be a bad wire or plug. If your plugs are new then the only thing left is the wire. You dont have coil packs so dont complicate it. Also If you pulled out the spark plug wire and you didn't get shocked it means its bad.

[benarovi561]

its funny how a fgt like ucant read. i CAN see the spark when i take it out. and the next time it does misfire ill try and figure it out
