1997 chevy truck running rough

Initial diagnostics showed misfiring. Replaced plugs, wires, rotor, distributor cap and coil. Had to replace injector for cyllinder #8 which fixed the misfiring, but still running really rough. Mechanics are baffled!! Any ideas? Runs roughest between 1500 & 2000 RPMs.

Is this a 5.7? They are notorious for intake manifold gasket leaks. When mine did it, the diagnostics blamed it on an ignition misfire also! Replaced the gaskets and it runs smooth!

Does this vehicle have hydraulic tappets if it does ???then has it had regular oil changes if not and it has hydraulics tappets then they could be gummed up and the gaps on the valves are too tight causing the rough running.was this vehicle designed to run on unleaded petrol ??and if so has it got stelite coated valves and seats to run on unleaded fuel,Do a compression test and see if its within spec as this sounds like a valve problem to me.

97 chevy blazer rough idling problem? help?

It is hardly ever the spark plug or only the spark plug - generally for some reason there is a weak or lost spark and the reason must be found and rectified by carefully checking and then replacing any components found to be edfective - plug wires, coil, distributor cap, rotor (if fitted), wiring, connections and could conceivably even be the ECU. Perhaps the misfire is due to injector trouble...

Sometimes a fault with persist even after it has been "cured" until the fault code is erased with diagnostic equipment.

Hello I have a 1999 Chevy Blazer with a 4.3L I keep getting the code Multiple misfire or misfire cyl 5. I have replaced the crank sensor, cam sensor, ignition module, map sensor, injectors, fuel filter,...

Make sure plugs are gapped correctly and coil pack is good . If can't feel it missing could be a false code generated by computer . Hope this helps

Dodge stratus misfire, runs rough has random misfires in cylinder 1,3,and 5 and a vacuum leak, I,m not too worried about the leak unless it is related to the misfire

I WOULD REPLACE DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND ROTOR.MARK LOCATION OF ROTOR OR MAKE NOTE SO YOU CAN INSTALL NEW ROTOR IN CORRECT FIRING POSITION. IF THIS CAR HAS A LOT OF MILES I WOULD REPLACE DISTRIBUTOR CAP, ROTOR.SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES.REPLACE IGNITION COIL.CLEAN FUEL INJECTORS, FILL GAS TANK UP TO 3/4 TO FULL TANK OF GAS POUR CAN SEAFOAM IN FUEL TANK IT WILL FLUSH OUT THE FUEL INJECTORS WHILE ENGINE RUNNING OR DRIVING CAR. REPLACE FUEL FILTER. REASON I SAY DO A TUNE UP PROBLEM COULD BE MINOR FIX.COULD NEED TUNE UP.IF TUNE UP DONT HELP THEN YOUR PROBLEM IS DISTRIBUTOR OR THE CAMSHAFT SENSOR INSIDE OF DISTRIBUTOR.THAT WOULD SET OFF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.BUT I WOULD SAY TUNE UP COULD FIX PROBLEM.

#4 cyl misfires/code 304

P-0304 indicates number 4 cylinder misfire. Are you using Toyota parts dept spark plugs? More often than not, non-toyota plugs make the v-6s run poor, right out of the box....
Try this:With the engine running, pull the connector wire off of the #4 injector. Note to see if there is any change with the idle quality. No change? You may have a bad injector.
