SOURCE: cylinder 3 misfire

Make sure you're using the recommended spark plugs. When my car did that, I had put Bosch Platinum Plus-4 plugs in and got that same problem. Turns out the plugs are too hot and cause it to fire prematurely and kick the misfire code.

SOURCE: 1999 Grand Am 3400 v6 misfire.

I was asking about the pushrods because I had this problem with one of these engines that had a bent push-rod. I robbed a push-rod out of an older 3100 and it was just a fraction of an inch longer which bottomed out the lifter. I figured it out by removing the valve cover and loosing the rockers when it was running and it smoothed out. I'm guessing you checked for vacuum leaks already. How about injection pulse on the number 6 cylinder when running. Another thing you could check is running compression. You said you checked compression but did you just check cranking compression or did you check running compression too.

Why is my 2013 dodge avenger 3.6L V6 still giving a cyclinder2 misfire after I have changed my coils, park plugs, and the wires

If you're still experiencing a cylinder 2 misfire in your 2013 Dodge Avenger 3.6L V6 after replacing the coils, spark plugs, and wires, there are a few potential causes to consider: 1. Fuel Injector Issue: A malfunctioning or clogged fuel injector can cause a misfire in a specific cylinder. Check the fuel injector for cylinder 2 and ensure it is functioning properly. It may require cleaning or replacement. 2. Compression Problem: Low compression in cylinder 2 can lead to a misfire. Perform a compression test to check the compression levels in all cylinders. If cylinder 2 shows significantly lower compression, it may indicate issues with the valves, piston rings, or cylinder head gasket. 3. Ignition Timing: Incorrect ignition timing can cause misfires. Ensure the ignition timing is set correctly according to the manufacturer's specifications. 4. Vacuum Leak: A vacuum leak near cylinder 2 can disrupt the air-fuel mixture and lead to a misfire. Inspect the vacuum lines and intake manifold for any leaks or loose connections. 5.Engine Control Module (ECM) Issue: A faulty ECM can incorrectly trigger a misfire code. Consider having the ECM scanned for any error codes or anomalies related to cylinder 2.

What do the fault codes mean, what repairs are needed? PO300 PO302 PO303

The fault codes refer to misfires, P0300 is a random misfire ,anything from fuel injector problems , vacuum leaks , low fuel pressure ,clogged fuel filter . P0302 is a specific cylinder misfire same for P0303 ! # 2 an #3 cylinders . Spark plugs , plug wires , coils or coil , depending on make model an year vehicle an ignition system type ! Testing is the only way to find out the corrections needed . It takes a very good technician to trouble shoot these problems . Your best bet would be to take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop

Po302 code also po316 code

Put the old coil back in #2 & walk the new one to another cylinder

PO Codes are wrong, as many times as correct on a ford

Forget the 316

Your best to look at fuel trim with a professional scan tool
& cylinder misfire counts in Mode #06 also

Those trucks have leaking injectors some times, but that isn't
the code your getting

Spark plugs can't be in there over 3 years

The front 2 oxygen sensors have to be replaced at 100,000 miles

Do those 2 items & then diagnose the misfire or walk the coils

2004 GMC Envoy misfire

If you pull the #2 plug out and start the engine do you see a spark? You didn't mention if you checked the wires or not, but it could be a bad plug wire. If there is a spark, I'd try and see if the #2 injector is actually firing like you mentioned above.

02 hyundai accent engine quit running won t start codes come up po300 po301 po302 not familiar with 4 cylnders when turning over sounds like no compression

codes p 0300 is random misfires and codes p0301,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 are the cylinders that are misfiring
so un you statement the problem cylinders are 1 and 2
misfires are normally problem injectors and low fuel pressures so have the fuel pressure checked to make sure that the pump is running correctly, the pressure regulator is operating correctly ans the EVAP system is venting the tank correctly
use a couple of injector cleaner in the tank to clean the injectors

Im getting a misfire and the mechanic says its coming from cylinder 2, but says that spark plugs and wires are good, but that it could be coil or injector unless its deep into engine, what should i do?

Replace the coil pack for cylinder to if that doesn't help it could be a crank position sensor since that's the sensor that controls the ignition firing if you want to check the injector pull the plug wire for cylinder 2 then start your vehicle shut it back of and remove the plug for cylinder 2 if the plug is wet and smells like gas your injector is working most likely a bad coil pack

99 pontiac grand prix that is still mis firing even after we changed plugs and wires, not sure what to do now please help

Misfires can be caused by several things including all the parts you have already replaced as well as faulty ignition coils, faulty injectors, vacuum leaks and engine mechanical problems such as low compression.
With the proper equipment, injector operation can be verified by performing injector balance tests, where the operation of the injectors in the misfiring cylinders is compared to the other cylinders that are not misfiring.
Also, engine mechanical failures such as bad piston rings or leaking/burnt valves can be diagnosed with a simple compression test.
An easy (and very inexpensive ) way to verify ignition coil operation is to swap the coil from the misfiring cylinder(s) with the coil(s) from the cylinder(s) that is(are) not misfiring. Then clear the fault codes and drive the vehicle. If the same cylinders are still misfiring, the coil is not the problem. If the misfire moves to the cylinder that you swapped with - replace the coil.
Sometimes, injectors can also be tested this way, but on most GM V-6 or V-8 engines, this is not practical due to the labor involved in "swapping" injectors.
