24916, what could be the cause of misfire Posted by ecl98pse, Jun-19-02 02:16 PM today i was out driving and i got a CEL when i first started the car. i payed no attention to it until i got home and checked it. PO300 Randon cylinder misfire. i was boosting kinda high 8-10, but the light was on before i boosted so i don't know. but anyhow what could be the cause of random cylinder misfire? | |

24917, RE: what could be the cause of misfire Posted by pn0ymahal, Jun-19-02 04:34 PM could be your spark plugs, wires or coil.. i would check the plugs and wires 1st... also since you got it out i would do a compression check... | |

24918, RE: what could be the cause of misfire Posted by tenzoeclipse, Jun-19-02 04:56 PM It happened to me. It was one of the lifters. Just something else you might check. | |

24919, RE: what could be the cause of misfire Posted by ecl98pse, Jun-20-02 04:41 AM well the plugs are new (not even 100 miles on them. as far as the coil and wires i'm not sure is there anyway to check them besides getting new? | |

24920, RE: what could be the cause of misfire Posted by speedracer21, Jun-20-02 05:06 AM i used to get it a bunch of times, it usually happens if the car runs lean for a sec or so. | |

24922, RE: what could be the cause of misfire Posted by tenzoeclipse, Jun-20-02 07:00 AM Find a buddy with a 420a eclipse and put his coil pack on. One of the lifters came off track and stayed open. Do a compression check. If it checks out then its probably ignition. | |

24923, RE: what could be the cause of misfire Posted by speedracer21, Jun-20-02 10:21 AM yea it could be a lifter too, that also caused mine to miss fire | |

24924, RE: what could be the cause of misfire Posted by pn0ymahal, Jun-20-02 10:45 AM you can check the resistance within the coil, the specs to check should be in mods, or info@specs... get a multimeter and check the resistance etc...same goes for spark plug wires check the resistance... | |

24925, RE: what could be the cause of misfire Posted by ecl98pse, Jun-20-02 11:15 AM well this arfternoon i started her up and checked the logger and it was gone and drove it for a while and it didn't come back(yet) so maybe it was nothing :wary BTW i never noticed it running bad the other day. | |
