What is causing this? my 2001 alero has misfire on cylinder 1, i have changed plugs, switched coil packs, it doesnt seem to get up to speed. what is the problem??

The compression could be too low to create the bang it needs, I have seen it a lot, try the connecting wiring harness first it might just have a bad connection, but it does sound like low compression

Pontiac 3400 bad misfire changed plugs wires and one coil pack didn't help

not a lot of information to go on. it could be with all u have done not helping that the engine could be out of time. when it miss fires does it pop or backfire? if it does your problem most likely is with the timing.. also r u sure that the other coil packs r good? it might be worth it to have them checked first. hope this helps

Why would my 1999 dodge caravan backfire when i give it gas

sounds like you have a bad coil pack this will cause the motor to miss on 1 or more cylinders thus causing the backfire you are describing this is more than likely your problem, another thing it could also be is water in your gas this will also cause a backfire due to the engine trying to burn the water that is coming thru your fuel lines but more than likely it will be your coil pack hope this helps.

My 2004 chevy trailblazer is missing badly. Had them read the code for me at auto zone and it said I had a miss fire on the number one cylinder. I changed the plugs and it is still missing badly

Try moving the coil pack from cylinder 1 to another cylinder (swap locations) and see if the same code comes up. If code is different, then coil pack is bad. Other reasons for miss; bad injector, poor compression.
Also, I know you changed plugs already, but always use AC Delco 43-103 plugs on this vehicle.

My 2002 dodge stratus is acting like it is missing out or spuddering. I have changed the spark plugs and after doing so it ran really well for awhile then started doing the same thing again?

You may have a bad coil pack. They are located on top of the spark plugs. If a coil pack is bad then if will miss as well as you could loose gas milage and performance.

Engine has a very bad miss in it

The ignition coil pack (the black thing all the plug wires hook to) is probably cracked. Remove it and look for cracks on the bottom and sides. If it is cracked replace it.

1994 jeep wrangler backfiring missing,

The problem is one of your coil packs is bad. Don't throw money into sensors, they are false codes. The problem is coil packs.
