SOURCE: FIRE and FUEL........NOT CRANKING !!!!!!!

check your ignition fuses but i think your problem is between your module and ignition switch if you got safty switches on there any one of them can cause that also.

SOURCE: ONLY FIRES ON ONE CYLINDER WHEN COLD

Have you done a compression test on it. Try that. It also could be a valve, electrical or fuel problem.

SOURCE: no fire at the plugs, battery fine, was running

Your Sporty has a fuse box somewhere. check the fuses to see if any are blown. Harley always puts their ignition systems on their own circuit. If you don't find anything that way, contact me directly at [email protected] and I'll scan a trouble shooting chart in and send it to you. There's more to the late models than there was with the early models.

SOURCE: my front cylinder is not firing. I replaced plugs

hi you must check compression first should be same as other cyl. if not check for tight tappet if ok is the plug sparking if you hold it against cyl and turn over motor if good spark put it back and turn over motor few times then remove it and see if its wet with fuel if its not could be carby blocked jet

Miss fire at cylinder 6 on my 2004 grand am 3.4 i have replaced new plug new coil and wire whats next still miss fires

With the engine running and the cylinder misfiring tap (key word is tap) the injector with a screwdriver a couple of times. If the misfire goes away replace the injector.

Coil not firing power on one wire whats the other wire for

The other wire is what grounds the coil to make it spark.
The ignition module grounds the coil at the right time from signals from the computer.
Did you check for trouble codes ?

04' Ram 1500, bad mis-fire. cust repl s/plugs. no help. Codes for coils #7 & 8 w/mis-fire. replaced coils & wire set. Better, but still P0300. Compression good

You still have random misfires (PO300)
You most likely replaced those coils that set a code, and those were not the one bad offender,spiking the computer module.
Take a new coil and put in a cylinder,no change, replace old coil and move new one to next cylinder. You can do that once or twice a day, if you have nothing else to do. You need a 90 degree day, to really get that solved,unless you have an ignition oscilloscope.
Never had a bad spark plug in 45 years.

iginition coil needs to be replaced. By for about 150 to 200, and take the Northstar cover off and replace. Very easy fix. Car will then run like a jet engine.
