Remove the plug and check the compression for that cylinder it should be between 120 psi and 150 psi, if it is low it is a mechanical issue (bad valve or worn piston rings). If commpression is low remove the valve cover and turn over the motor confirming that both valves for that cylinder are opening to there correct travel or height if not it is a faulty hydraulic lifter or worn cam. Also check the valve lash clearance the clearance is usually .012" for the exhaust valve and .008" for the intake valve to check the lash turn the motor over until the valve shuts completely for each valve, then use a feeler gauge go no go procedure. Has the wire been replaced for the plug? If this motor has coil on plug type disregard plug wire question.

Misfire on Cylinder 3 swapped plugs between 3 and 4 on Pontiak Aztek 2003. Misfire remained on cylinder 3. Swapped ignition coil 3 and 6 with ignition coil 1 and 4 misfire still on cylinder 3

Try a new plug wire on cyl 3 if that doesn't fix it you could have a bad valve or compression problem on cyl 3 Try doing a compression test also If it has injectors for each cylinder you could have a bad injector for cylinder number 3

2004 Sorento began with code P0305, cyl #5 misfire. Inspected and replaced plugs, wires, and coil pack on cyl #2. Repair shop told me cyl #5 injector bad so they replaced. Still has misfire.I suggeste

If you had code P0305, I don't know why they would have done anything to the #2 cylinder but if they have already replaced the plugs, wires and injector; here are a few more items to check:
1) Check connections from ECM. Look for any corrosions or bent/broken pins.
2) Check the fuel line pressure
3) Check the engine compression
4) And if the above are good, then you will probably have a defective ECM

EGR Valve and Cyl. 5 misfire.....???

Hi

If this is an electronic EGR valve which is opened and closed by the PCM, then it may simply have to relearn the fully closed setting for idle, and it can sometimes be done by switching off the ignition, disconnecting the wiring plug from the EGR valve, and then resetting the fault codes with a scanner.

Now here's the important bit, the very second the scanner tells you the fault codes are cleared, quickly switch off the ignition. This will prevent the PCM from setting another code.

You can then reconnect the EGR valve and hopefully the lesson will be steadfast in the PCMs memory!

As for the cylinder 5 misfire, if it is still misfiring then you need to check for spark, fuel, and compression in that cylinder.

Run the engine for a minute and then whip out the no.5 spark plug. Is it dry or covered in fuel? If its covered in fuel then you have a spark problem, and if its dry then you have a fuel problem.

If its a spark problem and the plugs each have their own coilpack, then it is very highly likely the coilpack at fault, and in which case it is best to fit a new plug as well as a coilpack.

If its a fuel problem then it is very highly likely the injector at fault but you should check for a supply and earth pulse at the injector before condemning it, because sometimes the injector loom becomes crimped and damaged.

It could be a compression problem, but I doubt it, however, just to be safe you may want to carry out a compression test on that cylinder before throwing parts at it.

An easy way of determinig injector and coilpack faults is to move the suspect part onto another cylinder and see if the fault code follows it. If it does then you know that component is faulty.
