Re: Multiple/Random Cylinder Misfire

Well I welded in a brand new OEM style cat and it didnt help at all. It has to be a sensor, it only makes perfect sense the way the car acts, when it misses the engine loses power instantly like a switch was turned off. I think I'll take it to the shop for them to diagnose it.

And the spark plug wires are the OEM length.

Thanks,
Steve

Yup - the ol' coil-packs problem. My '95 has gone through, oh, "several" packs and then some over the last 2 years - sometimes, they go bad so fast that they get replaced for free under warranty. Dunno why, but that's the only trouble I've had in several years is coil packs and ignition control module (replaced 2x ). I rather like the car, just wish it was built to Toyota standards

Re: Multiple/Random Cylinder Misfire

That statement (toyota standards) might have been true 15 yrs ago but not now,I'm a firm beleaver in the American Automobile Industrie but right now there in dier need of improvement,like someone stated recently (GM and Ford) should stop moaning about things and build better cars then people won't want to convert. jmoo
