amazing I thought I was the only one having that exact problem.. kinda lost hope after changing the plugs but I'm goin to do the coils now .. this should fix the problem
Great video. I have a 2004 Honda Odyssey with over 300k miles on it and this going to be the second time I had to replace ignition coils and spark plugs due to misfires. 🙄 It's been about 1-2 years since I replaced the spark plugs and ignition coils. I haven't even traveled 12,000 in those years and I add an additive to clean my engine every oil change.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video, I wasn't sure of the issue on my daughter's accord, and now you have helped me figure out the issue. I have subscribed to your site, and given this video a thumbs up. GOD bless you, JESUS loves
It's so shocking how many people tend to skip the spark plugs when trying to diagnose rough idling/acceleration. I know my grandfather was one of them, and he was a guy who took his car to the dealer religiously for tune ups. Still ran like total garbage until my stepdad finally checked the spark plugs and found that they were just insanely worn. :/
I was having a missfire in my nissan pulsar gtir (sr20det) on high boost only i did the easy cheap and first repair replaced the spark plugs. Cylinder #4rhe spark plug was cracked.... thanks for your videos.
Daniel, i have a 99 Honda Accord 4cyl w/ AT and it has about 165,500 miles on it, and my odometer only shows half the numbers (top half or even bottom half) sometimes. there's the special occasion where the car shows all the numbers but that's a special occasion. it's hard to read the mileage especially when marking down when i need to change the oil next (i do all my work to my vehicle). just thought it would be an interesting thing for you to think about haha
now if you could only make a video on how to remove 200,000 mile stock spark plugs becuse I have to figure out how to remove the ones on my dads truck!
Great video. If changing the spark plugs and ignition coils doesn't fix the problem. What do you think it could be? It's a 05 Accord Ex 4 cyl 2.4. It runs good, it just misfires when it is in drive and not moving. Thank You.
I'm curious why you said cylinder 5 was on the other side of the engine from #3. Back in my time, when looking at the front of the engine; cylinder 1 is the front cylinder on your right, and odd numbered cylinders 3, 5 and maybe 7 followed behind. Even numbered cylinders were on your left; starting with 2, 4,6 and maybe 8 behind. Even the old Chilton's and Haynes books showed this. Are they using a new "common core" way of counting the cylinders on newer cars. Even in this video, cylinder 3 was appropriately behind #1, so why #5 on the other side? Please enlighten me. Thank you!
JRobert111111 2,4,6 are rear bank, 1,3,5 is front bank. They're configured to fire opposite once piston #1 does its firing job then other bank piston #2 does it firing job. So on....
That's the way I've always thought it is; or on cars where the engine is installed properly, cylinder 1 is on the driver side front. I've seen some newer cars (Ford mainly) where they count from the front back in order, and then the other side front to back as well. I'll stick to what I know, which is what you said. Thanks!
Cylinder numbering varies by manufacture and even by engine model. Ford usually numbers cylinders from front to back starting at the front of the passenger's side\firewall bank (on transverse engines) then from front to back on the driver's side/radiator side bank. The Navistar manufactured Powerstrokes are numbered alternating bank to bank, starting at the front of the passenger's bank. Chrysler and GM usually alternate bank to bank starting at the front of the drivers side/radiator side but not always. This Honda seems to be numbered left to right (front to back of engine block) starting on the firewall bank, so the front center cylinder is 5 and the rear right (as looking at it in the video) cylinder is 3.
1:33 in this video. Pause it right there you see the screen with all the monitors Evap heated o2 oxygen sensors misfire HTR Air oxygen sensor Catalyst converter EGR all these monitors come up and he still can’t pass inspection because you got to duty cycle you should make a video on this because these are 99.9% or failures on cars and SUV’s
there was another video on u tube same problem but code said multiple cyln. misfire it was either spark plug or coils NO ! it was EGR valve needed cleaning so he cleaned it reistalled it and presto engine running smooth again BUTT! i made a comment that he didn't show code reading again after egr clean he said he was aware of it. so i got same problem ( five cylinlinders . misfire ) and gonna try it with the egr clean. ( how does five spark plugs or five coils go out same time? )
I own 96 honda accord with misfire on #2 and 3.. changed plugs still missfire.. don't have coils on each plug. Mines electronic ignition. Wht could my problem be? :/
Hi, I own a citroen ds3, 1.4, year 2012, 70k km and I have big trouble with P1336 error, already change all the spark plugs and coil nr 1 and 4 and after few weeks , strats again with error P1336,coil nr 1 ... any idea what this might be about? thanks
I have a cylinder 2 misfire on my Nissan Murano, sprayed penetrating oil into my spark plug wells to try and loosen them but my mechanic says the oil might've leaked into the cylinder and killed it. Can anyone give me advice to breathe life into that cylinder to avoid a replacement? Thanks.
In a Honda I'm sure its simple, in a 2013 Ram with 5.7 Hemi, not so much, I replaced all 16 spark plugs and coils, still have the misfire. Frustrating.
I replaced spark plugs and wires and ignition coil on my 1997 honda civic i have 2 codes cylinder 2 and 4 are misfiring. I got the heads up that my catalytic converter is not performing well. Which i don't know what is the root of the problem.
I need help. My car is misfiring. says cylinder 4 misfire. Replaced spark plugs, spark plug wires, and ignition coils, still misfiring. Please help, thanks
Liftmaster 1280 - Do a compression test. Places like O'Reilly's, AutoZone and Advance Auto Parts will loan you the test kit, then refund you your money when you return it.
Liftmaster 1280 - It could be anything. Poor compression, a burnt valve, a failing fuel injector... Start with the simple stuff. A compression test is very easy to do and it'll tell you if the engine is healthy or not. You have to diagnose the problem before you can prescribe a remedy.
how does it sound when you crank the car to start it, does it sound even when it spins over? with a compression issue you can usually hear the starter accelerate then decelerate. it could be a lot of things, just start with the basics . could be an injector or vacuum leak or something more dramatic like a computer
if you get lazy changing the plugs then the old coils secondary windings begin to spark internally more and more until you get a dead cylinder code. These lean engines designs seem to random misfire very easily for no reason: light shake at idle rpm unless A to Z is all good. At 147kMi...after doing everything (valves, plugs, coils, air filter, throttle body, intake boot...) I was resigned to random idle lean misfires, then I replaced the cheap OEM round transmission filter under the intake duct ($15: 25450-RAY-003) - Now zero misfire and the low rpm torque is back the way it drove at 50kMi 👍
spark plugs, who needs to change them, they should last the life of vehicle :))) yeah joking there and bad spark plugs = #1 cause of coil failure, forget 100K mile, no matter what they claim on them fancy plugs, 50K for them and 20K for cheapest plugs is best
