it misfires preety bad for every second that goes by cyl 5 misfires and all my other misfire preety often too......whats goin on




im really worried......

 

How many miles and have you replaced anything yet in the ignition and what are your mods sounds to me like it might be tune up time.

 

I had changed my spark plugs at 45K miles and they already looked worn; you won't make it to 100K. Did you replace your fuel filter? That can also give you lots of hesitation/misfiring on a hard acceleration.

 

the car has 25k miles it was stock until 20k


no ignition stuff has been done......

??????????????????

 

If it only missfiring on a specific cylinder than its a good possibilitly of a bent pushrod or valvespring if its not the sparkplug. Check the plug first if its not that just take the valve cover on the #5 side off and look at the spring and pushrod.

and how exactly do i do that.....
how much do push rods and springs cost
how did this happen?????

 

Seriously, I'm desperate here-need some help quick!

 

one check plaugs 2 check coils three pull valve covers and inspect everyhing. if not bring it to a mechanic

 

Things to check:

1. Spark plug. If good-
2. Plug Wire. If good-
3. Coil Pack (you'll need another coil). If good-
4. Pull valve cover on cylinder #5's side. Its easy just look for the bolts holding it down and loosen them, they wont come out so don't get fustrated trying to get them out. Just look at the spring if its broke its usually obvious. As to the pushrod it will sit on the back side of the rocker. You can try getting your finger in there and playing with it. If there is alot of play on it then it may be broke.

If it is the spring or pushrod don't worry it is not that expensive at all. It'll be maybe $100 in parts IF that. If you take it to a mechanic they may try to gouge you on labor.

The important thing is DON'T run it until you figure it out. If you keep running it with a broken spring or pushrod you will do more damage.

Just calm down and relax in the grand scheme of things breaking a spring or pushrod is not that big of a deal. The important thing to do is to not run it.

 

oh boy....i feared the pushrods

 

If you've been using the bottle on stock plugs you may have burnt them up. Definately check the plugs first.

 

i have ngk tr6......

 

you didn't by any chance use a black bottle of 104+ octane boost, did you?

That crap fried my brand new plugs. I had to change plugs twice within the same month because of that sh*t.

 

nope...........

 

does it happen anytime or just when hot? if it is when it is hot it could be the head gasket. and have you looked at the plugs yet? have you checked anything yet?
