could this couse a cylinder 8 missfire????

 

[ran260gt]

It goes on a threaded stud on the fuel rail !

 

[SaleenGT2001]

it is a ground. just put it on a bolt on the fuel rail.

it should not cause a misfire

ahhrrr, i thought i found fix to my missfire problem... any other ideas???!!

 

[ran260gt]

Bad plug , coil pack

Bad plug , coil pack

try swapping COP's and see if the misfire follows the coil. our coils are known to have issues

 

[acura1073]

ok... so swap...!!

ok swap them, are they labled, i havent really looked at em.. ok, after i swap see if it still runs bad, i know its missfire because of code, so how to clear code???, i assume disco battery??, kinda new to 4.6l ... thanks for all help...!!

[SaleenGT2001]

all the coils will interchange. just swap the #7 and #8 coils and see if the misfire goes to cyl #7. if so just get a new coil

you can reset the light by disconnecting the battery or with a hand held scanner

 

[acura1073]

ok will try it tomm, will post results!!
thanks for info..

 

[acura1073]

wouldnt swapping #7 and #8 cause a missfire anyways???
lost me on that one...

 

[Kornnut]

They are saying swap the COP to another cyl to see if the missfire moves from #8 cyl to whatever cyl you move the COP to.

Correct. Then you know the Coil on Plug (COP) is not functioning correctly. Then you can purchase a new one and reset the code and you know your misfire issue is fixed!

Good Luck!

ok, im so confused I have a 98 mustang gt, it has 2 coils with four outputs... so your saying to swap them, ok i understand that, but the last fewposts state to swap #7 and #8.. at the coils? that doesnt make sence as it will missfire.. and run worse than now... correct me if im wrong.. I understand newer stangs have individ coils for each plug.. but mine does not!! at least i think ....LOL

They are talking about 99-04 cars.

 

[joshjwc9]

Even easier, I didn't notice the plug wires in the pictures!!!

Basically change your 7 and 8 plug wires. If the misfire follows the number 8 plug wire to cylinder 7. Then if it does, then you can easily replace your wires and misfire solved.

Good Luck!

I think they're saying after you switch the coils, check the code again to see if it tells you #7 instead of #8. Then you'll know that that is the problem.
