So within the past few months I did plugs and wires. Wires were original, woo ! Now they are new NGK. Plugs are NGK as well.
Before doing that, everything ran fine, just felt like doing it to do something. It has had a EGR code for a little bit now and O2 sensor code as well. All running fine even with those codes.
Now I have a misfire on #6. Runs rough, but runs. No smoke of any color out the exhaust. No crap/gunk under the oil cap or radiator cap. Did a cold start looking for bubbles in the radiator with no bubbles.
Pulled the plugs one at a time @ the dizzy to find that it was #6 that was unaffected. I can see spark on all plugs @ dizzy.
Checked the plugs and #6 gap was at .22, so got that back to .31 & no different.
I'm thinking fuel injector ?
maybe HG ? but at this point, no real signs of it.
Is there an "easy" way to check the fuel injector ? and/or tips/tricks to doing so ?
Is there an "easy" way to check the wiring harness ? and/or tips/tricks to doing so ?
And I'll be checking the compression tomorrow, any tips/tricks to that ? I've read on direction to remove all the plugs at the same time, then some say remove only the plug for the cynlinder your testing ...
As for as how it runs. Idles rough, as you accelerate it's still rough. If I get up to 45mph it kind of smoothes out, then at 50mph+ its rough. If I open it up I cant feel any roughness but seems like its lacking some power .. If I let off the gas while moving its smooth as well at any mph letting off.
Thanks in advance.
