I definitely have them labeled... problem was I took all the connectors off to re-loom them because I was prettying up the engine bay while everything was apart and somehow I managed to flip two of them. Still not entirely sure how the wires looked to be the perfect length and bend for 1&2, but ...

Back with an update. Feel like an idiot, but the connectors for coils 1 and 2 were flipped. I'm not sure how it happened. I re-loomed everything and the wires were "permanently" curved to where they would only go in that orientation so I assumed they had to be correct. The wire lengths don...

Skip the tune until you get this other stuff sorted out. It won’t fix bad things

yeah, i got that. i'm trying to figure out what the bad thing is.

It is so frustrating when you get these weird issues. If is only one cylinder I would think it is un-likely the crank or cam sensor. I would have expected it to be more random across the board. I am more concerned about the low Cylinder #2 reading. Yes the oil in the cylinder could point to bad pis...

Crank sensor didn't fix it. Misfire cylinder 2...

all new coils and they've been swapped around to eliminate that possibility. issue is following cylinder 2. i've been told it's plausible that the crank/cam sensors could be working less-than-perfectly and not throw codes, so i've ordered the crank sensor. waiting for that to come in and i'll make t...

still stumbling. cylinders 1 and 2 seem to be unaffected by me pulling either the coil or the injector plugs. strong compression across all five cylinders. fuel pressure is rock steady at 50psi. took the injectors out, cleaned and tested. injectors have good voltage at the connectors, good resistanc...

well, i buttoned it all back up. drove around the block a few times - sure enough, cylinder 2 misfire. what's interesting though is that there's also a misfire in cylinder 3 which had perfect compression. idle is a little rough, some power loss. ordered new coils to eliminate all possibilities outsi...

So, how did it run prior to the accident? Has it basically sat for most of four years in a coma? How much run-time has it had since you started cranking it? Maybe the rings took a set and slightly bound. They could loosen up. pour a cap of seafoam in the cylinder and let it sit a day or so. Can't h...

guys. i feel like a complete idiot. when i did the PCV kit and removed the intake manifold to shine it up, i never put that banjo bolt back in. don't know how i missed it. anyway... it runs like a freaking top now and it only cost me ~$600 in parts trying to figure out what was wrong. i plan on runn...
