It's possible the fuel injector went bad on that cylinder.
My maxima did the same thing until I figured out it was the fuel injector the whole time.

If it's working properly, it should make a clicking noise. Best way to test it to unplug the wire connector to the injector and put 12v to it. It should click every time you appily 12 volts. ( warning, don't take the fuel injector off the fuel rail. GAS & SPARK don't mix)

2008 Pontiac G5, 2.2 - 5 speed says cylinder 2 misfire after changing plugs, coil packs and fuel injector. P0302 DTC code.

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from 'Speed Computers', to Pontiac G5.

The way to find which item is faulty is easy.

Clear the code

Move the plug from cylinder 2 and put it in cylinder 4. Run the car. Is the misfire still on 2 or has it moved to 4. Yes? the plug is faulty. No? Next test.

Clear the code
Move the coil pack from cylinder 2 and put it in cylinder 4. Run the car. Is the misfire still on 2 or has it moved to 4. Yes? the coil pack is faulty. No? Next test.

Same test for the injector.

If the misfire remains on 2 you need an auto-electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer which analyses every sensor and every module.

What should the resistance be on a coil pack 06 Xterra?

My info says you don't have a coil pack. You have coil on plug ignition, one coil for each spark plug. If you have a misfire on a particular cylinder, your trouble code should tell you which cylinder, then you check fuel--spark--compression on that cylinder. A p0300 misfire code is a misfire common to all cylinders, or the computer thinks there is a misfire but can't tell which cylinder.

What causes engine misfires to stay after new plugs and coil packs?

Try swapping the coil packs around - like swap #1 with #2, and swap #6 with #5, see if the misfires MOVE with the coil packs swapped to the new cylinders or if they stay with the cylinders. If they move with the coil packs, the new coil packs are bad. If they stay with the cylinders, there's a problem with those cylinders. You DID replace that camshaft sensor, right?

Have you checked your #1 and #6 injectors?

There is a misfire in my engine, changed plugs & wires. now it reads that the fuel leveling sensor is bad, will this help?

If there is a misfire, the cylinder that it is misfiring in will be recorded as a code in the computer.

Have the car scanned to determine which cylinder is bad. Then, replace the coil pack going to that cylinder.

Ignition Coil Pack Removal & Installation 2V Engine To Remove:
  1. Twist the spark plug wires off of the ignition coil towers. Mark the spark plug wire positions so they can be installed in their original positions.
  2. Disconnect the electrical connector from the ignition coil. CAUTION
    When removing the spark plug wires, a slight twisting motion will break the seal and ease removal.

My Sentra is overheating. I changed the Thermostat before taking it to the local Autozone and have the check engine light checked out. Well I was told there after scanning the computer that it is a MISFIRE...

First step is new plugs. It's possible that you have a fouled #1 plug. If that doesn't work, check spark wires (if the car is so equipped) or if it has direct coil-on-plug ignition, where each cylinder has a coil pack on top of the plug, swap the coil packs between cylinders 1 and 2. Clear the code, run the car, and rescan the computer. If the code moves to indicate cylinder 2 misfiring, then your coil pack needs to be replaced.

I have a 2002 TrailBlazer with the straight 6,diognostic check said #3 cylinder was dead or misfiring, also map sensor showed up. #3 cylinder was misfiring, so to test the coil pack I swapped #3 coil pack...

did you replace only one spark plug? that can cause issues because of differences in resistances between cylinders. also, did the map code stay off after replacing

Why is my 1997 expedition showing a misfire on number 2 cylinder OBD code PO302. Also I am getting code readings PO174 andPO171 system to lean on Bank 1and 2

PO302 is being a misfire, could mean the plug is bad or the coil is bad for that cylinder. Which can give you the misfire reading and the system to lean codes. Check the #2 coil for firing.
