95 3.8 miss on #4 cylinder
Getting a code 300 random misfire, was showing misfires at random times on 3,4 and 6. One coil was cracked and replaced. Plugs on 3 and 4 removed, usual wear ( had been replaced about 31K Km ago). Compression on both 3 and 4 90PSI, these 2 cylinders have historically been lower than the rest.
Ignition module swapped out for a used one Some wiring issues with grounds for PCM and ICM corrected. Plug wire on #4 changed out. Fuel pressure at 41 PSI if vacuum line to regulator removed; otherwise runs about 37 PSi at idle. Clamping off fuel return line can generate 60 PSI, so regulator suspect. Van starts great, idles ok, but under even just a slight load #4 cuts out, showing misfire on the scanner I have. After all this work, it is now only #4 that is acting up. This was sudden onset, about 2 weeks after catalytic converter was replaced Any suggestion? Better half pushing to kick tires on a replacement |

Re: 95 3.8 miss on #4 cylinder
Here is what I have found so far: despite ignition being the most common cause of missing, I don't think that is the cause. Once again, faulty wiring has reared its ugly head, at the engine to body feed, and also right in the C111 connector itself. Several fuel injectors would cut out when wiring bundle moved. For now, I just spliced a connector between the body side of the wiring harness and the injector wire on engine. In addition, a repair done several years ago at a dealer turned out to be faulty: they had replaced the power feed to the MAF right from connector to MAF, but it may not have been fully crimped, as it slid out and was just hanging there, making intermittent contact, and horrific driveability issues.
I am trying to find out the size of the connector in C111, and if they make those connectors made up with about a 2 foot pigtail on them to splice back into the engine harness |
