Misfire on number 2 cyl

I think this engine uses the standard firing order. 1, 3, 4, 2. Number One cylinder is nearest the belts and pulleys and number 4 will be nearest the transmission.
Your coil pack will normally be labelled with which wire goes where.

week injector

a factory weatherstripping on the hood leaks causes the cylinders 2 &3 on the pass side to misfire. pull the coils for the cyl. .take off boot with long spring inside, thats your plug wire. they are rusty, no? clean them up, put some dielectric grease all over the spring and reassemble. theres your prob!!!!

Most likely the coils. Easiest way to check is swap them with another cylinder, start it, pull the plug wire connecter and if it doesn't change the engine the coil is bad. If it is the injector, then you can check it with an ohm meter. Touch the leads in the injector it should read 11 to 15 ohms. if you need help let me know.

sounds like it might be a fuel inj ,does it have a misfire code which cyl , try swapping fuel injs see if misfire changes cyls and follows fuel inj to different cyl

If you look at your coil pack the terminals are numbered with the cylinder they go to. The cylinders are as follows: Passenger side of engine, closest cyl to radiator is cyl 1, then behind it is 2 and 3, drivers side of engine closest to rad is 4,5,6. Good luck!

you have two wires crossed up ,check the firing order and see which two are crossed up ,hope this helped ,thanks robert b.

The cylinder closest to the passenger side is number one. Firing order is 1, 4, 3, 2 Where is your coil pack located in reference to the engine? I need this info to give you accurate placement of the spark plugs. Charlie
