99 dodge caravan #4 cylinder misfires, i replaced spark plug wires and spark plugs. Scanner showed #4 still misfiring, could this be the coil?

if you cleared the code - fixed arc and checked their are no more arcs - and keeps coming back then problem can be a burnt or carboned valve --lifter -push rod --piston

need to check 3 things if you have a misfire
spark
fuel
compression

connect scanner and find what cylinders are misfiring. it could be a plug, or a coil, or an injector or an internal problem inside engine cylinder. It is usually plug, coil or an injector if this was helpful please leave good feed back

Hi Richard, I'm glad to help! Richard, there's a lot of things that can cause one certain cylinder to misfire. I would first: "Replace the Spark Plug and Spark Plug Wire for number 4 and see if the misfire goes away. If it doesn't then you need to do a "Compression Test" for cylinder # 4 and compare it to another cylinder and if its more then 25 Psi difference then you need to do a "Cylinder Leak Down Test" to see where you are loosing the compression. If the compression is good and you have new plug and wire and it still misfires. Then you'll need to check and make sure you have good spark coming from the coil. If you have good spark coming from the coil. Then you'll need to check and make sure the # 4 Injector is firing. Hope this helps and have an awesome day Richard.

I have run into these caravans burning oil, not much you can do except keep an eye on the oil level or spend a lot of money having piston rings replaced.
The best way to go about finding the misfire would be to go to an auto zone or other auto parts store that will scan the computer for codes. the codes will tell you which cylinder is misfiring.
I would bet it could be a fouled spark plug due to oil burning but could be a plug wire also.Have the codes read and find the cylinder that is misfiring and remove the spark plug and see if the tip is covered or worn down, if it is then replace spark plug and you may want to do them all. up to you.
If the plug is okay then move on to spark plug wires, swap the misfiring cylinder wire with another cylinder and see if misfire moves if it does then replace the wires.

To find the cylinder by #. If you are standing if front of the van looking at engine cylinders 2,4,and 6 are in front, closest to radiator from left to right. then cylinders 1,3,and 5 are at the rear also going left to right.
Good day.

Firts time swap spark plug & ignition coil between two different cylinders and read again if the same #2 cyl. misfires !
If #2 cyl. is OK and another cyl. misfires then spark plug or ignition coil is out of order and must be replaced.
If #2 cyl. misfires again then #2 injector must be checked !
If ignition coils & spark plugs (complete set for 6 cyl.) are replaced then you must check #2 injector !

Had the same problem, car was misfiring on cylinder 3 and 4. replaced wires, plugs, and ignition coil. still misfired on the same cynlinders. turned out the main engine wiring harness plug in was coming loose. spent well over $150 on the unneccesary repairs and ultimately fixed the problem wit a $3 bag of wire ties to hold the plug in...

Spake pluge could have gone bad, or the Spark Plug wire. Try changing all your plugs and wire and inspect the old one's. The wire could be bad do to time or may have been against the exhaust manifold and brunt. Good luck

Aloha We have just replaced all of what you have replaced, plus water pump, fuel pump, pcv valve and 02 sensor. Took it to mechanic today we had misfire on 1,2,6,7. Mechanic said that the 99 dodge is known for bad computers, he checked ours and works great turns out that it was the coil. Ours was jumping 1/4 inch and had a orange/yellow spark. it is supposed to have a 1 inch spark and be blue. This has solved our problems after 527 dollars later.
Check the coil!

You should definitely replace the fuel filter though this probably won't fix your hesitation. It wouldn't hurt to replace the spark plugs this is usually the culprit on these engine. I have the same engine in a '99 caravan and found the for some reason the spark plugs on cylinder 3 and 4 loosen up after one year and cause a misfire between 45 and 50 mph under load (when mildly accelerating).
