Weird Missfiring I have a 1999 Cherokee and it ran perfectly until a few days ago. I've been experiencing problems with is missfiring. However, it only happens when i hit a bump or turn left. It acts like it want to die and cuts out when any of these two occurances happen. And it even happens when i have a full tank of gas so I dont believe it is becuase of a low gas level. Any help would be great. Thanks

This is an electrical problem. There is a harness that runs in back of the cylinder head. I've seen this harness get worn and rub against the head when hitting bumps. Check the harness also while the jeep is running try moving harnesses under the hood you might get lucky and find if any wire could be storting out to ground.

Why are cylinders 1 3 and 5 are miss firing 1997 toyota camry

you cannot change oxygen sensors from front to back as they are 2 completely different units doing completely different jobs
the problem is water in the electronics and you use a dewatering fluid ( wd-40 or like ) to disperse the water not starter fluid

My 1999 suburban is missfiring on cylinder one, changed new plug, cap & rotor, wires

You seem to have covered almost everything electrical. That leaves mechanical. Either valves sticking, frozen, or spring, cam broken. Fuel line or injector to that cylinder is the only other item I can think of. Let me know how it works for you.

I have a BMW 323I 1999 sedan, and I just got 1188 and 1189 codes faults like 2 weeks ago. Today things went worst and while I was parked giving a phone call ad car runnig idle the engine started to run...

I think that you have an air leak. The fact that you hear it when you press the accelerator rather than when you release the accelerator suggests that it is outside of the throttle valve. Check the rubber boot/elbow that fits on the throttle valve. I just had to replace one on an '04 325 yesterday because the rubber was cracked.

Intermittent problem. Truck ran fine one day and barely ran the next time I started it. Runs incredibly rough like it's missing but not like a consistently missfiring plug but missfiring on all plugs...

Check for sticking idle air control valve and stuck open EGR valve. Both are common causes for very rough engine operation due to fuel-air ratio being too far off. Also check for large vacuum leak such as from rubber hoses connecting PCV valve to intake. Feel around for squishy or oily rubber which would indicate a leaking hole in the rubber hoses.

2001 Kia Magentis engine missfiring , installed

check new spark plugs for proper gap.
It may have gotten hit when installing it.check coils second for resistance/firing. sometimes one bank will work fine and the other side will misfire-always replace all together or as a unit. Check
engine for compression if problem pre existed
and check for low compression. if 1 cylinder
has 120 psi and two havepsi below 90 you may have
a cracked head or bad head gasket.
