vashonz Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Set it on fire. Use thermite if you got it. It will not have a miss on the first or second cyl anymore. Seriously, get a haynes/chilton manual, use their trouble shooting guide. My guess is plug wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonsZ Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Ah yes, this is a common problem. I have an answer for you sure enough. It's missing because you don't have enough blinker fuel in the #2 auxiliarry turbine. Yes, I know you say, what the heck is the #2 auxiliarry turbine doing with a low fuel indication when the #4 is purring like a kitten, I say to that, good question, it's simple, you see when your blinker fuel is low, it causes a thermal shift in the proximity detector which will in turn randomly activted the safety protocol. This leads to messy "missed" responces from the computer center. Of course once you return the blinker fuel to it's proper level you may still experiance misses, that would then indeed be a gremlin. No not that fantastic 70's dreamride, but that little green furry bugger that wont' stop cranking on your nuts. Just go out and buy yourself some gremlin repelant, Calco auto used to sell that, but not lately, due to the oil shortage. Good luck! Oh, and since this is a Japaneese car, you'll have to get the Japaneese Gremlin repellant. It's a little more exensive but you knew that would be the case when you went out and bought a foriegn car. Hope this helps! oh you could also search, or give more information, people round here are usually really willing to help, anyway, but you could try to search. Or just write another vague sentance like, "car won't start what do I do" or "what's matter with my g'ride humpty?" We here (members) at Hybrid Z really respect the peeps and give big props to the cause. Wot wot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naviathan Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 You have issues. But, besides that, if you have fuel and spark then your cylinder is firing. My suggestion would be to go back over every connection and make sure it's right. How do you know you have spark? How do you know you have fuel? Just because the number 3 is dry doesn't mean it's not getting fuel, just means it could be getting fuel but it's properly burning it so the plug isn't wet. Check your plugs wires, check your fuel pressure, check your fuel injector connections. More info, better checks...You're bot giving us much to work with.

TBK Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 My vote is VALVE ADJUSTMENT, will make you think it is missing!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endurorider Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Check valve adjustment and check to see if you have your ignition wires crossed. do you have a compression gauge, noid light, spark tester? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
