Misfire on one cylinder


Recommended Posts

Hey Guys,



I have a problem with my 93' GT Turbo, it is misfiring and basically the car is permanently working on 3 cylinders and running very rich, compression is good, we replaced injectors, high tension leads, plugs, checked harness, and the problem still persists.



When unplugging the injector plug that is on the fuel rail on this particular cylinder the idle does not seem to waver, but on the others it does.



Did anyone encounter this problem? Maybe someone can shed some light?



Thanks.

Easy checks to see if its the injector, plug or leads:



if no change occurs when taking the fuel injector plug out do the following:



Put a long screwdriver on the injector and check for pulse.



if you do, check for spark so do this:



Take a spare spark plug. Take the lead off, put the sppre plug on the lead. Earth the plug, easy way is to hook up a jumper cable to the plug to the negative terminal on the battery. Start the car, check its firing.



They take the plug out the block, do the same with the plug, see if its firing.



I had a similar problem, turned out to be a non firing spark plug.
