91 Corsica,3.1 changed plugs wires, and control module,. Coils test ok. **** misfire, but, when I put it in gear it misfires, and has no power?

I was getting code 12, so I tested the coils, and they were ok, but the control module tested bad, but I still get code 12? It "still" runs the same I hope someone has a good idea as to what this is?

    I have been asking everyone that I know about this! Being a "91", there aren't a lot of people knolagable knowledgeableabout a car this old. One guy said that the Converter might be plugged? Another said that the egr valve is not working properly?

    Ron, I did change the control module, so I guess that I will try checking the timming? But this car only has 75,000 Miles? Thank you.

ignition mod. grounds,pcm or timing belt could all be it but, I would have to look at timing first.

SOURCE: cavalier 1996 2.4 motor, change plugs, new coils,

one of the injectors could be the problem. if the check engine blinks in a continuous mode the fault will have to be pulled from the module, but if it blinks in different series Example: 2 times and then 4 times, it's giving a fault code of 24. A long pause between blinks is a new code or repeat of the same code. these will have to be referenced with a manual, which auto zone could help you with. You can go to the auto zone, advance auto web site and it will help you to narrow the problem down.

Why is my 2013 dodge avenger 3.6L V6 still giving a cyclinder2 misfire after I have changed my coils, park plugs, and the wires

If you're still experiencing a cylinder 2 misfire in your 2013 Dodge Avenger 3.6L V6 after replacing the coils, spark plugs, and wires, there are a few potential causes to consider: 1. Fuel Injector Issue: A malfunctioning or clogged fuel injector can cause a misfire in a specific cylinder. Check the fuel injector for cylinder 2 and ensure it is functioning properly. It may require cleaning or replacement. 2. Compression Problem: Low compression in cylinder 2 can lead to a misfire. Perform a compression test to check the compression levels in all cylinders. If cylinder 2 shows significantly lower compression, it may indicate issues with the valves, piston rings, or cylinder head gasket. 3. Ignition Timing: Incorrect ignition timing can cause misfires. Ensure the ignition timing is set correctly according to the manufacturer's specifications. 4. Vacuum Leak: A vacuum leak near cylinder 2 can disrupt the air-fuel mixture and lead to a misfire. Inspect the vacuum lines and intake manifold for any leaks or loose connections. 5.Engine Control Module (ECM) Issue: A faulty ECM can incorrectly trigger a misfire code. Consider having the ECM scanned for any error codes or anomalies related to cylinder 2.

2000 Chevrolet Silverado 5.3. Misfire on 2 cylinders?

Question edited for clarity. Full year make model in title and mis-spelling of 'misfire'.
Question moved to sub category.

The misfire code only tell you that, unfortunately it doesn't tell you why. When swapping parts to test theories, only swap one thing, one cylinder to one cylinder and only one item, the coil, the plug or the wires, not all three. What was the make of the Crankshaft Sensor? Only buy quality OEM replacements as there is a history of bad ones from Mexico and China.

Wouldn't hurt to check the wires again. This has a neat diagram.

Ford taurus p0300

Neither was the problem on a 2007 vehicle,still sort of new

You do need to change plugs every 3 years

I would change the Front Oxygen Sensors, if you have 100,000
miles on them---still not the misfire issue

The misfire is the ignition control module, if that is what you have,
since you mentioned plug wires,some motors have individual
ignition coils & they fail a lot on a ford

Those codes are of no use, their random misfires & misfire
on first 1,000 rpm when starting the motor

Have to diagnose each cylinder & any module issue

Whom ever did your work failed to do anything but replace
parts,no road test,no scanner data checking or code diagnoses

Don't go to the chain store or auto parts shops
Go to an old time local shop

Cylinder #1 continues to Misfire

What DTC code(s) are you getting?
You performed a compression test on cylinder #1; did you test cylinder #2?
Compare the readings, if there is a significant difference in compression readings between the two, you may have a bad head gasket, a bad valve, etc.
The bottom line, the problem is internal to the engine.

Ok, my 2000 acura 3.2 tl egine light blinks and the tcs light stays on, also the engine has a slight shake at idle. Took to autozone to get the codes came back as all 6 cylinders misfire, multiple misfire,...

This is strange. The tcs is a traction controll error. If you are getting misfire codes and traction control warnings, then I would have your control module tested to make sure it is not having intermittent power issues to each component.

Misfire #3 cylinder

Has anyone found the problem? My 2003 has #3 cyclinder misfire and I have replaced the plugs and wires. It runs rough at idle but smooths out at highway speed. Anyone have any knowledge on this? This sounds like a common problem.
