If it has a coil for each cylinder then it could be the coil on that cylinder but if it doesn't then it could be plug wire,sparkplug or fuel injector related ( injector wire harness or pigtail ).

    Thanks Ricky! The dealership is now looking at the wiring and computer driver issue. They have had the truck for 5 days now. I would think that they could of figured this out by now. What do you think?

SOURCE: Error codes P0301(cylinder #1 misfire)

The ECM is very possible.I assume cylinder 4 injector is providing gas?The connection for cylinder 1 is probably a connector with pins correct?If you can bypass the ECM,that would get you closer if not give the answer.I would try using a wire straight from the battery to the injector electric somehow without damaging the wires.For years,if i had an extension cord which was old,I cut off the ends and save it just for troubleshooting occasions like this is a good example.If you do the bypass,try to hold the wire with something other than skin.I have leather gardening gloves,pliers.The gloves are better for steadiness and pliers are metal.It is not likely that it should melt but doing electrical work for so many years,an ounce of prevention is worth way way more than a pound of cure.If it did melt,it would stick and probably a couple weeks worth of pain.I would like to know how you make out.If you reply back to this post I will get an autolink to your post.Good luck! Greg
P.S.Was your error code from the car's own system and not a shop?I am trying to figure out what year that system started.
Thanks

2012 Ford Escape 3.0, V6 misfire on cylinder 4, changed coil pack & reset engine light, still misfiring.

Question edited for clarity and add maker.
Question moved to model category.

Don't swap out parts based on guesses.

Take spark plug 4 and put it on cylinder 1, put 1 in 4. Does the misfire move to 1? You need a new plug.

Or an auto electrician can diagnose the misfire with a 5 grand scan tool computer in about 30 minutes.

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.

RE: Johnny brown- 2003 Sebring multiple cylinder misfire 3.0 New distributor new crankshaft sensor new plugs new wires good compression injectors good... Installed new EGR started with cold engine and

ENGINE MISFIRE

There are few possibilities that can cause engine misfire issues. It can be issue with spark plugs or faulty spark plugs. Also get the compression test done for cylinders. If any of cylinder shows low compression then required, then that particular cylinder will cause misfire.

Also get obd codes scanned, the error code will let you know which cylinder is misfiring or all cylinders are misfiring.

And for .......

Car not starting or turning over indicates towards multiple possibilities. It can be issue with battery or weak battery. But if battery checks out ok, then it can be starter issue or faulty alternator or problem with low fuel pressure or no spark at spark plugs due to dirty spark plugs or faulty ignition coil or injectors getting cracked or dirty and needs to be cleaned.


To confirm the problem, the basic troubleshooting is required.
