#2 plug not getting pulse fire from cpu side

If your saying number 2 spark plug coil is getting no ground from computer when cranking, I'd have to check wiring connectors on both ends and do continuity test of the ground wire to computer. If everything checks out, check computer.

I suppose you swapped the coil from one cylinder to the next, to see if problem followed the coil?

You do have primary voltage going to coil, correct?

Chrysler neon not fireing on 1 and 4 cyl

I would be more inclined to think the wiring in the coil pack for that coil may have a problem. Have a shop check your ignition system, before springing for a new pcm. There should be a hot wire to the coil primary wire going to that coil. May have to run continuity tests on the wiring for the coil pack. Or if you could find a used coil pack, and use your good coils on it to try it.

Service engine light stays on after i got the code for a #4 miss fire, changed out plugs, wires and even replaces the coil pack on my #4 what else is wrong

What codes do you have?

You use the codes & diagnostic manuals,
to decide what testing to do,not replace anything at all

Spark plugs seldom go bad or fail to fire,maybe never in
your lifetime

I may be the exception, but never replace plug wires.
If you have a used vehicle & depend on a repair shop
that too many hands abused them, then change them

The idea is to use professional tools such as reference
material & an oscilloscope to look into things & spot a problem
part,then change it

Now your coil for #4 may have not been the problem
A code for a misfire such as a PO304 but not the coil causing
it or a different coil spiking the pcm/ecm & giving you all sorts of
misleading codes

You could have a bad injector on#4 or a vacuum leak on injector
& you go down the trouble chart or tree on your reference material
& continue testing

I can write a book but can't diagnose without the vehicle

You either go to Helm.Com and buy the necessary manuals
or go to a repair shop to have them do other testing, keep in
mind they know not to do the plugs,wires etc you did

There are shops that will throw parts at it, then ask for you
authorization to continue, they should be working only on the
main problem you go there for,then you build the relationship,
if they prove they can solve your complaint

98 chevy 1500 starts and then shuts right off have replaced fuel pump and filter ,crank sensor,cam sensor ,oil sen. coil,ign.mod and PCM

On some chevys the oil pressure sending unit closes the circuit to continue the fuel pump to run after start. In the event of a wreck ,the car stops running thus no oil pressure thus turns off power to the fuel pump .A safety to help prevent fires. When you first start the car, the computer turns on the fuel pump for about 20 seconds just enough time to start and allow the oil pressure sending unit to close the circuit to allow it to continue running. when the car car has NO oil pressure or the sending unit fails ,it will start then shut down..as many times as you try to start. replace the oil pressure sending unit and secure a good conection.

Wont start. some coil packs are not firing.

Replace and/or check the the coil packs for continuity associated with the cylinders that are not firing.

Also, check for fuel delivery using a fuel pressure gauge on the rail, and verify that the fuel injectors are firing using a noid tester or a stethoscope on the fuel injector to check that they are clicking.

Try to add starter fluid to the intake manifold through the throttle body to see if it starts that way, signalling a fuel delivery problem if it starts right up.

Good luck on this repair.

2003 Chevy Impala 3.8L #3 and #6 not firing, we replaced the coil still not firing. Husband doesn't think 2 plugs would go bad at the same time any suggestions?

may be a bad module it is under the coils I think 3 and 6 are on the same coil so that would make both cyls not fire

THE ENGINE CUT OFF CRANKED ONE TIME THEN SHUT

Sounds like your fuel pump is going bad. Have your mechanic do a pressure test on it.
