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

It could be carbon deposits on valve seats keeping valves from totally closing. You can try getting you a can of motorcraft PM3 top end engine cleaner and get engine up to operating temp then remove one of the small vacuum lines from the intake and draw the contents of the can slowly into the engine.After you have drawn in the contents shut engine off and let it soak for about 45 minutes then crank it back up and let it run until it clears. Now it will smoke like a forrest fire while you are doing this so don't be alarmed,just tell the neighbors you are spraying for mosqitos.This may cure the problem. If not you may be looking at a valve job.
This can be verified with a compression test if this is what is causing it.

Check your alternator see if you have a drop in voltage on your tack,then it is the problem.I too was a victim of high price tune up and still had a problem with a misfire.and cover your coil pack with a piece of rubber water run of onto your power pack .Another thing is to use a silicone spray on all wires.

Did you check the condition of the spark plug? If the plug is good do a compression check; a very low reading could indicate a sticking intake valve (sticking open). The easyest and cheapest way to fix a sticking valve is to introduce 1/2 can of Sea Foam into the air intake manafold; just follow the instructions on the can except you will use 1/2 can instead of 1/3 can. That Yamaha motor from what I have found collects tons of gunk on the valve stems. Good luck.

I have a 1997 Isuzu Rodeo 2.6L cylinders 2 & 3 won't fire after vehicle starts but will fire if I unhook cylinder 1 or 4 what will cause this

USA car? must I GUESS?
so you have 2 coil packs. ????
called wasted park
seems you typed the displacement wrong, !!! 2.2L is 4 banger...
1 and 4 fire as a pair
2 and 3 , fire as a pair , in series

so if the spark wires open , you loose a pair,
say #1 opens, you loose #4 with it.
they are wired in series.
if one spark wire grounds out , you lose only THAT spark plug.
but why would you get the odd pack to pack cross talk.
(assumes you have the HV wired right. correct?)
the packs cant be wired up willly-nillly.
this is the 2.2L coil pack.
and IS wasted SPARK system. for sure.
and can not be mixed up
the PCM is hard coded for 1,3,4,2 firing order.
and must be wired right. did you meddle here?
if you unplug the 2 one right , this must not make the 2 on left work.
pulling 1 wire, only kills the adjacent wire. normal.
see the pairs there, at the bottom see those hiddencoil packs mail coils molded to case?
if you are wired right and you have cross talk from 1/4 to 2/3 bank
the pack is bad.

25857019-xm4r4cd100gbehm3txueal2s-4-0.jpg by cross talk i mean, 1;3 effect 1/4 or the reverse.

My 1999 lexus Rx300 has misfires. we recently replaced all sparkplugs and it still continues. we are getting reading codes of P 0300, 0301,0303,0305 plus p1305,1315 and 1325. My local part department...

Replacing plugs is not a complete tuneup. Problem could be in plug wires or in coil that fires the plug. If you lookup codes and identify cylinders that are misfiring, try disconnecting that plug wire on both ends (plug on one end, coil on the other) and substituting a different one temporsrily. If your coils are mounted directly to the plug, try swapping coils between cylinders to see if the problem shifts to a different cylinder.

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.

My Audi A4 1997 1.8 Turbo is misfiring in the #2 cylinder. Changed the plugs and replaced the coil and still receiving the same code.

Check the wiring to the coil

Check to make sure the fuel injector is working properly.

Check compression on the cylinder
