Re: 97 rodeo random misfire cylinder 5 & 6 misfire po101 & po102

Actually, 97 has Coil On Plug. With the MAF codes and the randomness of the misfire, I would suspect a vacuum leak somewhere. Check your air intake hose carefully for any cracks or other leaks. Air leaks after the MAF can wreak havoc and make the computer grumpy. Check all vacuum lines carefully. Breaks can be hard to see. Last would be the suspect the intake manifold gaskets.

You may wish to check your coil boots. If you see any white streaks on the insides or black streaks down the porcelain insulator on the any of the plugs, you have a problem with the plug connections. This indicates high resistance and the spark is going straight to ground instead of going through the spark plug.
