2 cilinders died out on me

[Mass]

Greetings, i'am a noob to this forum.

I have a i've gottn my self a doge stealth. With problems.
The thing is the 6 cilinder engine is just working on 4 cilinders.
the #3 and #6 cilinder arnt getting any sparks. (yes there are sparkplugs in it) :P

We changed the coils, the ECU and the PTU(power transistor unit)
ive brought it to the Local Mitsubishi dealer, knowing there's a Mitsubishi DHOC engine in it. But they check and cant find the problem.
They and my self have no clue what to do now. I realy like the car and i realy want it to be fixed.

Does any one has any sugestions? or might know what the problem could be?

Damn man, and welcome. You've got quite a problem, I don't know what would cause that. If no one here can solve it then you can try the 3SI.org forums, there are a lot more people there so you'd be more likely to have it solved there.

how about the wires? have ya changed those yet?

[Thourun]

Distributor? Lol it'd be funny if the wires were just switched between the two.

[Linebckr49]

that's definitely a possibility. but if that were the case he would still get spark, it would just out of time. but who knows

[Thourun]

How does one tell if they're getting spark?

[Linebckr49]

good question. not sure. i guess if you suspected that u were getting no spark, then you could pull the plug then reattach the wire, turn the car on and see if there's a spark emitted from the plug. seems like easiest way to me. i'm there are other ways tho.

HAHA! i bet your buddy said, "wow, shiny thing!" then he touched the spark. haha, i wish i coulda seen that.

tho i recently electrocuted myself when i was cleaning a lamp.........so i figured the reason it wouldn't come on is b/c there was a bunch of crap in the bulb socket. so i took it apart and started to scrap this crap out (dirt and such). then i sorta touched the metal and YOWZER!!!!!!!!!!. well i failed to unplug to lamp from the wall.....genius! but what a rush it was! hahaha!

i dont know, but dont think that little spark from that plug is weak...its not. it hospitalized him, ill tell you that its that strong. i dont remember exactly how he did it but he had a wratchet in his hand and the plug attached to the other hand. i thought it was pretty funny when i heard the story. i think he dropped the plug on the wrench or something like that...

yeah a rush but you probably just fried about 10,000 brain cells

HA! don't worry, i'm not that stupid. when it comes to electricity, i'm pretty conservative and cautious...except that one time, haha.

I like to plug a string of x-mass lights in halfway and stick my fingers in lol, but that way I don't get much of the current. Damn I kinda miss taking physics, now I want to see how much current I take haha. Don't try doing that with anything that can turn off when plluged in though!!

i took physics in college...some cool stuff but the not cool stuff is hard to learn. oh well...i liked chemistry in college but i had a really hott teacher so i dont know if i liked chemistry or i just liked that particular class. so i guess it worked...or i guess i made it work. by far the easiest teacher to look at, i have ever seen. i dont think i ever skipped that class and i loved staying after for some one on one action..errr..i mean "learning". gosh, i miss that class. so many memories...

[Thourun]

Lol I skipped College chem all but 5 days and got a B+ haha... Then again I did go to all but one lab.
