Bad coil pack -- HELP!!!
Intermittent stumble at idle, and it misses when accelerating in overdrive.
Should there be a Check Engine Light? Is there a way to tell which coil pack it is? Thanks! |

when mine was misfiring, it sometimes didn't throw a CE light - only if i was going up a hill and it did it for a certain amount of time. |
It's a '93... 135k miles.
How can I determine which cylinder it is? |

Pre- OBD2 cars won't set a code for a skip. If its definitlly a dead skip you can try unpluging one coil pack at a time to find the bad cylinder. It will be the one that doesn't change the way the engine runs.

Easier, too. It's hard to reach those coil connections.
However, it's an intermittent problem. In the repair world there's nothing I hate more... |
could be other things
usually a bad coil pack isnt bad just at idle....
a stumble could be old spark plugs, bad TP sensor, dirty or bad Egr valve, mass air flow sensor on the verge of going bad, or even the crank trigger sensor...... Pick one or pick them all ....good luck |
