Change the #1 fuel injector to #2 and #2 to #1 position.If the miss fire code changes to #2 cyl that fuel injector may need to be changed.I would try that first before spending $$$

Hope this helps, Nik.

Have you changed the engine? I put a 2001 engine in a 2000 and had to change the timing belt pullies that corispond to the 2 crank angle sensors because the 2001 had 2 tabs on the pully to activate the coil and the 2000 had 4 tabs. It had the same problem you discribe.

You didn't post your engine size so please pick the applicable diagram:



1996-98 4.3L Engines Firing Order: 1-6-5-4-3-2Distributor Rotation: Clockwise



1996-98 5.0L, 5.7L and 7.4L Engines Firing Order: 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2Distributor Rotation: Clockwise




4.3L Engines Firing order: 1-6-5-4-3-2 Distributor rotation: Clockwise



4.8L, 5.3L and 6.0L Engines Firing order: 1-8-7-2-6-5-4-3 Distributorless ignition system (one coil on each cylinder)



5.0L, 5.7L and 7.4L Engines Firing order: 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 Distributor rotation: Clockwise

Looking from the front of the car. the passenger side is cyl 1, 3, 5, and the drivers side is 2, 4, 6. The coil pack front row is, 6,4,2. and the rear row is 3,1,5 The firing order is 123456

You are mis fireing on cyl 1 and 3 if you replaced plugs and wires and coil this is going to be a fuel injector issue or valve issue. See if you can swap the injectors with known good cyl. and see if it changes. Or have a shop do a fuel injector service on it to see if it helps. It may be to late for the fuel injector service.

cannot be specific, had a 98 (now a 99). remember they fire twice- compression and exhaust. if you don't get and answer soon, look up firing order and everyother one should fire together, limiting combinations to two. It doesn't care what stroke it is on

have you changed the ignition wires? perhaps firing order crossed? if not coil pack or ignition wires faulty how do you know it is not "FIREING" on 1 & 4 have you tested it with a spark tester tool???

The firing order for a six cylinder is 1-2-3-4-5-6 distributor rotation-clockwise...cylinders 1-3-5 on drivers side...2-4-6 on passenger side
