Wires, coolant temp sensor, ignition module, coil, restricted exhaust, improper plug gap, cracked head or engine block, burnt valves, broken valve springs, bad fuel, improper fuel pressure, dirty fuel filter, probably many others.

Why would my 1994 acura vigro misfire

misfires are from plugs, HT leads, injectors, low fuel pressure , compression problems,coil/s distributor cracks /dirty,rotor button ;loose, faulty ignition control module, loose earth/ground wires, low alternator out put, bad battery
I suggest that you run the fault codes to try to pinpoint the problem area.

Nissan v6 idle

looks like that either you do have an air mass not correct working,or the throttle body is too dirty and you have to clean it.Also check for any cracked, snapped vacuum hose.

Po104po105po1o6 misfires

First the po 171 is that bank 1 is running lean, as far as the codes po104-106, i think you made a mistake, the mifire codes for cylinders 4-6 would be po304, po305 and po306. the fiurst thing to check would the fuel preasure.

The reason i say fuel pressure is due to the misfiring and lean codes.
If the fuel pressure tests okay then check for intake manifold gasket leak, this is done with a smoke machine or with some throtle body cleaner spray. you will neeed to start the engine and spary around the intake gasket area as you watch for engine speed change.
A scan tool may be needed to watch fuel trim and o2 readings if the intake leak is small.
The other problem could be sparkplug failure or bad coil and last sparkplug wires if this is not a coil on plug system.
Acoil on plug system would be a system with out sparkplug wires going to each sparkplug, instead there is a separte coil on each sparkplug.
If this is a coil on plug ignition system i would start there and swap coils with the other cylinders and see if the misfire moves to those cylinder if it does then bad coils. hope this is helpful , good day

When I start my 92 acura legend the front end shakes quite a bit then settles into a normal idling. Next, I notice that when I place the car in reverse this shaking noise is also evident. the engine light...

get the check engine light code first. this should give u a good direction of where to start. could also be multiple other problems but start with the obvious check engine light first.

1997 honda acccord check engine light will come on and starts sputter real bad

This sounds like bad sparkplug wires, pull wires off the plugs and see if oil is on wires, this is common on these cars the valve cover gasket goes bad and oil leaks into sparkplug holes and then it misfires, if theres oil in holes replace the wires and the valve cover gasket with the tube seals,

Where is the gas filter located? please the van sputters when I give it gas. changed air filter. changed gas companys. still no help, worst when wet. thanks in advance

This sounds like it needs the plugwires or coilboots replaced, the ignition system has sparkplug wires or it has coilpacks on each cylinder, it sounds like they or misfirimg, you can have the computer scanned for codes to find out what cylinder is misfiring, many autopart stores will scan the computer for free,

94 mazda protege

try buying new points (yes there called points) gap them then install them, they go under the distributor cap, by the condenser, also, the sparkplug wires go in a certin order so if your not sure call an michanics shop and tell them what kind of car you have and they'll tell you what order they should go in. also did you gap the spark plugs??
