I have a 2001 Audi A6. It has 105,000 miles on it. The problem is the car sputters and misfires when accelerating. Once the RPM is up to 3,000 the problem stops. I?ve changed the spark plugs, coils and plug wires. The problem went away for about month but, now the problem is back. Please help.

Swap the coil pack to another cylinder if it is individual. If not, you should be able to pull the wire away from the plug and hear it fire. If not, you have a bad coil. If so, I would look at doing a compression test and possibly a leak down test.

Code P1139 popped up in my 2000 Honda Accord. Changed the 02 Censor and spark plugs. Check engine light still flashes and is miss firing somewhere. Won't turn over at all.

the code refers to the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) and not the O2 sensor which is a different sensor
It is a generic code and refers ti injector and fuel problems
The misfiring can be from injectors as well as plugs so check for fuel pressure and blocked fuel filter

2001 Chrysler Voyager LS 3.3L With a miss in it but all the time soI have changed all 6 Spark plugs Wires &coil pack The fuel filter at the tank ,air filter & miss was gone a few days later...

Have you checked all fuel injectors? Miss fire data is determined by ignition miss. I would also double check that all plug wires are fully seated on plug

Bad miss when you step on the gas

Thanks for choosing FixYa. This can relate to a number of things. It could be bad spark plugs, spark wires, coils. It could be a bad fuel filter. It may even be something electrical. Your vehicle has to have the perfect percentage of air, fuel, and fire to run correctly. If it has been awhile since you did a tune up, get one. If the check engine light is on, check for codes. It could even be a vacuum leak, so check your vacuum hoses and air filter. Since it is a bad miss, it is probably not in the hoses or filter, but bad air can cause it. Could be a bad fuel injectors.

Misfire in cylinder1 and 4 new i put on a new coil and it still isnt firing out of the new coil in 1 and 4

Misfires are either fuel/air mixture or spark.

If you've got the spark, then start looking at the fuel/air mixture. Check the plugs to ensure that they are in good shape (no cracks, not discolored, properly gapped).

Double check the plug wires and firing order... if everything checks out, then you could be having a vacuum problem such as an intake gasket leak.

Good luck!

Mis fire on cylinder 4 - Changed Cat. Converter, Replaced Fuel Filter, Replaced Air Filter, Changed Spark Plugs, rearranged Plug wires (made things even worse) and still not smooth and almost stalling at...

First off you want to make sure that you have the correct firing order down. When you rearranged the spark plug wires you might have made the firing order off and that could cause the misfire to get worse. the things that you should do to isolate the problem is to perform compression tests, fuel injectors, and also check the entire ignition system

Cylinder 1 miss fire

Check for low weak compression, or an intake leak on that cylinder. Make sure the plug is getting spark, and that the injector is pulsing.

My truck is miss firing

ASE Mechanic:
inspect everything from spark plugs, wires, fuel filter, air filter and maf sensor, mostly likely your due for a major tune- up. be carful the middle spark plug on the drivers side of the engine is very tricky and even a skilled technician can have problems.

Dumps raw gas into engine

Just a few things to check. Take off the fuel filter and make sure there is no water in it. If you have put in different spark plugs than AC Delco, then change them to AC Delco. If you haven't looked at the plugs or the fuel filter, then it is way past time to replace the filter and new AC Delco spark plugs only. These places that insist that you use Bosch plugs or split fire plugs don't know ****. The Delco plugs are made especially for your engine and will out last those cheap non-working Bosch plugs.
If the fuel filter and plugs don't fix it, make sure your air filter intake isn't stopped up with a bird's nest. Happens a lot. If it still misses after new plugs, you may have a fuel injector sticking.
The bad smoke is the gas-thinned oil passing the rings and unburnt fuel smoke. The missing really bad is most likely fuel soaked spark plugs. Make sure you change the oil while changing the plugs or you will have a redo. Let us know if any of this helps. Dale
