Jeff Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 OK- last week I took my baby on to get an inspection sticker. When it left the station, it had a miss- just like a plug wire was pulled off or something. I could even hear it "arcing" tick-tick-tick, right up at the coils. All of the wires looked OK but it was due for new plugs and wires anyway so I knocked that out tonight, and after the little firing order mishap (which I corrected thanks to this wonderful board)... I cranked her up and it's doing the same thing as before. Is it my coils?? How can I tell? Again, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julio Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 According to the book for cut outs and misses check the following: I take it you're not getting any codes PCM grounds Then it goes on to check if it is running rich or lean by using a scan tool and monitoring FT Check to see if throttle body is missing adjustment screw plug if air flow is restricted see if there is blockage in the IAC passage or or on the pintle Vacuum leak check injector connections Then check the coils with a spark tester check the plugs for wetness wrong gap cracks deposits burned electrodes make sure the ICM iginition control module is grounded Your coils should be 5000 to 8000 ohm on the secondaries Your wires should be 15k ohm hope that gives you some more options good luck!!

Jeff Posted May 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Thanks gentlemen- It was in fact a cracked coil. Stuck another one on and purring like Caddy! Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
