An engine needs fuel, air, and spark. it sounds like you have spark covered. try injector cleaner. if one brand doesn't work try another. at different times i've had luck with techron, seafoam, and lucas, which are about as different as they can be. its also possible that the problem is the injector itself or the wiring, but try cleaning it first. If the air filter or throttle body are dirty, which is rather likely on a '91, change the air filter and use use carb cleaner or seafoam. Also clean/change the PCV valve and clean the idle air control valve.

Dead miss on one cylinder 99 sl2

A quick way to check the single coil pack if you know for sure which cylinder is miss firing and its setting a code you can swap the coil pack to another cylinder and see if the miss changes from one cylinder to another. If it travels to where you moved the coil then the coil is bad,if not you have other problems.

Code says number one cylender miss fireing just did tune up still miss fireing

Depending on your vehicle is the coil pack good? If so with car running unplug the alternator and see if the engine smooths out, if so replace the alternator. The alternator can have a short inside causing a misfire code, if coil pack, wires, and plugs are good.

My saturn sc2 2001 run on 3 cylender when she want. i have changed my coil pack wire spark and spark plug. the computer can cause de problem?

the fuel injectors can be the cause.first you must isolate which cylinder is shutting down. When the engine is missing pull plug wires one at a time to determine which one does not slow or make engine run worse. CAUTION: use rubber handle pliers or rubber glove to pull wires off plugs.

My 99 volkswagon pssat has a missfire in the number two cylender. i changed the spark plug and coil pack. the code is still there when i took it back to be scanned?

Did you have it cleared after you replaced parts? if not it may take 50 ignition cycles to clear it out. but if you feel it missing still you may have a sticky injector.

I have a 1997 E350 V10 Club wagon, 210,000 miles just change 10 motorcraft spark plugs then keep miss fire and shaking what create that problem?

Probably one of a few easy things. Did you replace one plug at a time? If not, a couple crossed wires will be it. Recheck wires. Make sure all wires are firmly on each plug., Verify the plugs installed are the correct plugs for your truck, AGSF22FSM with a gap of .044, or others brands a gap of .054. Platinum plugs are OEM. Did you check gaps on plugs you installed? Some get dropped by employees. Don't scrimp with cheap plugs!! If you still have original wires trash them and get a quality set!

You may consider tracing back from coil back to the main plug and checking wires going into and coming out of the plug for any broke wires make sure to look for collapsed casings sometimes the wires will break internally
