What can cause no spark on one cylinder?

The most common cause for a misfire is a problem related to the ignition system. Misfiring can be caused by loss of spark; imbalanced air/fuel mixture; or loss of compression. This includes worn, fouled or damaged spark plugs, bad plug wires or a cracked distributor cap.

What would cause 2 cylinders to misfire?

There are many factors that can cause a cylinder 2 misfire—the most common of which are the following: Fuel delivery issues (e.g., a faulty fuel injector or damaged injector circuit) Ignition system problems (e.g., a failed coil pack or worn spark plug)

What will cause a random misfire?

A random misfire code usually means the air/fuel mixture is running lean. But the cause might be anything from a hard-to-find vacuum leak to dirty fuel injectors, low fuel pressure, a weak ignition coil, bad plug wires, or compression problems. Even a dirty MAF sensor can cause a lean code and/or misfire to occur.

What would cause a coil not to fire?

There are a few reasons for no spark, new coil pack could be defective, crank sensor, ignition module or bad wire in primary circuit, faulty ECM/PCM. You may have to have a good technician have a look, diagnose and estimate repair. Second link gives detailed instructions for testing and diagnosing coil pack.

Can a bad o2 sensor cause a random misfire code?

If an oxygen sensor or mass airflow sensor is failing, it could give incorrect data to your engine’s computer, causing the misfire. When a vacuum line is broken, it can cause a fuel-injected motor to misfire.

How do you fix a misfire in a cylinder?

Inspect the spark plugs for signs of damage. Use a spark plug socket to remove the plug so you can get a good look at it. The damage you see will help you determine the cause of the misfire. If the spark plug is just old, replacing it may solve the problem. Make sure to replace and properly gap new spark plugs.

Can a bad ECU cause all cylinders to misfire?

A faulty Engine Control Unit (ECU) can cause multiple random misfire codes. A bad ECU will most likely cause misfire codes on all cylinders, but it may affect only specific cylinders in a few rare cases.

Why do I misfire all cylinders on one side of engine?

Because the exhaust can not escape the cylinder, it builds excessive pressure, and that cylinder will not fire properly. Each catalytic converter is connected to all the cylinders on one side; you will end up getting several misfire codes plus the typical P0300 random misfire code.

Why are my Bosch spark plugs still misfires?

I was told that because they were Bosch spark plugs and not NGK spark plugs, that that was the reason for the misfires but after replacing them the misfires still exist. I did replace the EGR Valve with a Honda EGR Valve, but still the misfires exist.
