    It was the coil on no.4 cylinder

  • Mike OSullivan Mar 13, 2019

    Swap coil with another cylinder to see if problem follows the coil, if it does, then obviously, replace coil. If it still does not work, may be injector, so check plug to injector, clean connections if dirty, check continuity across two terminals with meter set on ohms. Should read around 14.6, if open, bad injector, if no resistance, also bad. Check to see you are getting 12V to power wire, then check ground to positive lead with test light, this too will further diagnose if it is injector or broken wire, only thing left is ecu which with wiring diagram you can check pin to injector end to end.
    Good luck,

SOURCE: low compression in #1and #2 cylinders 1993 eclipse gs 1.8l

burned valve is likely the culprit.... or bad rings.... hook air up to that cyclinder one at a time.... and listen where the air is escaping... be aware that the motor will rotate till the piston is at the bottom of it's rotation. if it's a burned valve you will have to remove the head and replace it but somewhat easier job then replacing the rings. darn almost forgot.... it can also be a blown head gasket.... same procedure but you might need a brush and some soap water to test for an air leak at the side of the head. when you are done spray some wd 40 on it to get the water off so the spark plugs do not arc.

SOURCE: missfire

Have you replaced the coil yet? I assume by all 4 cylinders misfiring you mean P0300 Random Misfire? It could be a number of other things - a faulty fuel injector, coil, etc. Read this article for more info on random misfires - http://www.obd-codes.com/p0300

SOURCE: Front struts replacement

Jack up and secure front end of your vehicle,Take off two front wheels. Loosen to bolt on the bottom of struts (Its a bolt and nut). Remove clip that holds brake hose on to strut and remove hose. DO NOT OPEN BRAKE LINE OR DISCONNECT FROM CALIPER. Remove bolts and remove bottom of strut from knuckle/Hub assembly. Then loosen nuts on strut tower( on top of fender inside hood) (3) nuts, mark exact locations of each nut on strut mount area on upper fender weld. Make sure to hold strut on the bottom so it doesn't drop down on caliper and knuckle or on you possibly.YOU WILL NEED A SPRING COMPRESSOR to compress spring so you can take struts off. MAKE SURE THAT SPRING IN COMPRESSED/SQUEEZED WITH A STRUT COMPRESSOR. Then loose center nut on strut tower(may be covered with a circular rubber cover) If nut spin around with out getting loose use vise grips to hold strut rod ONLY TO REMOVE STRUT NOT TO INSTALL. if you use vise grips to install it will damage strut. When nut is off, remove strut and reinstall new one transfer all rubber boots and cushions from old strut. Good Luck thanks for using FIX-YA.com contact me if you need more help.

P0304 misfire 4

There are so many things that can cause a missfire.
Just a thought. IF you switch both the plug and coil with a different cylinder it should show the missfire on that cylinder. You might want to check the compression on cylinder number 4.

You may also want to check the continuity of the conectin to the number 4 coil pack.

Check the plugs that were replaced. They may have been cheap plugs. If number four plug is fouled you may have ring problems.

Hope this helps

What does this mean cylinder 2 misfire

It means that #2 cylinder is not running right. It could be a bad spark plug, bad spark plug wire, bad injector, or bad coil pack. You will need to find out if you have spark on that cylinder. If you have spark, then you will have to check to see if it is getting fuel properly. This could also include a bad valve in the engine. If the compression is not right the cylinder will not fire either. I hope this helps you.

I have a 2002 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE About a week ago the check engine light came on, it started running rough, especially at idle. Computer diagnostic results showed missfire in cylinder 6. I replaced...

i would definately replace the coil. pretty certain that will solve your problem. do not drive with misfire or that can cause fruther damage such as catalyst failing, which is prety expensive.

What is an code po300 and po420 and what do i need to do i have an 2002 nissan altima

The p0300 code is a random missfire code sometimes caused by bad spark plugs and wires, if you have not done a tune up, it's time for one. now, the p0420 code is for catalyst efficiency below threshold, basically, your catalytic converter is bad and may need to be replaced. Sometimes repairing the random missfire can eventually clear the p0420 code. your car is not burning fuel properly, therefore the catalytic converter is getting dirty. Also, if you notice blue smoke coming out the tail pipe, then that's the cause for a failing catalytic converter as oil is getting to the combustion chamber and being burned off through the exhaust.
