Misfire, Cylinder 4

[san rensho]

Just swap a coil pack from another cylinder to #4, if 4 doesn't misfire, then its the coil pack. If it still misfires, then look to the wiring.

Ordered Coil Pack today....will be here tomorrow. I will update then.

Got the coil pack.....replaced the old one in cyl. 4. Drove it "Like the Doctor Ordered" and no misfire!!

Feels good to accomplish little things!!!:dance:

Hi Max....lol at the "flash" passing by. I am not familiar with McGills...I usually go to Black's. What kind of tires (make/size) do you have on the car now?

Hi John, Lot's of flash in your town !!! Tires--- Kumho ecsta asx 255 40 17 rear and 205 50 17 front These were bought by the past owner. They look a little worn but I do not know what they look like new. I need an inspection the first of Dec and do not need to fail. Are these prices in line? 255 $111.76 205 $102.87 At McGill's on Market st. Thanks again John as we are 2 hours away. Max in Beaufort

Max, my tires are as follows:

front. TOYO Proxes T1R ...$137 ea. 205's
rear. Nexxen N3000....$108 ea. 255's

So, yes your prices are in line. Looks like a difference of $60 in your favor on tires. I may need to check out McGills. I just dont know anything about Kumho's. Are they Directional tread tires? My Toyos and Nexxens are.
