firing order
I'm experiencing a misfire in the fifth cylinder. Not being experienced with Chrysler products, which cylinder is the fifth cylinder on a 2.7?
Once I identify the cylinder, I'm going to replace the ignition coil. Is there anything I should be aware of? Thanks |

Re: firing order
Cylinder numbering are as follows:
Passenger side bank from front to back: 1-3-5 Driver side bank from front to back: 2-4-6 So in your case #5 is the last cylinder on the passenger side closest to the firewall. Might want to inspect the plug before changing out the coil, if the plugs have not been changed since the car was new then it might be about time for a new set. |

Thanks, the car has 60,000 miles on it. Reading over chrysler posts, it looks like I'm in for engine trouble any day now...
But thanks for the tip, I have changed ths plugs already, cheapest fix, next was the coil (@ $40 a piece). i'm only replacing the one coil for now. Wish me luck

Re: firing order
your engine isn't always doomed if on your next oil change, you go with synthetic motor oil, pricey yes it is but will save you in the long run. Stick to a close 3 month/3,000 mile service and don't put any additives to your engine. Last 2.7 I saw blow was one w/ 180,000 miles on it.

Re: Re: firing order
Yes you really have to stick with 3 month 3000 miles program. Im going to do the 2 month 2500 for about 3 months then switch to syntheic. I also have the doomed 2.7 but you know what, the gas milage is great and it rides really nice.

Still have a miss...
I feel like a knuckle head here but this is what I just found. I started to switch the 3rd and 5th coils. While there I decided to inspect the plug in #5. Clean and dry as a bone. That's funny, I haven't had ignition in that cylinder for 5,000 miles. I'd expect it to be a little wet by now. Any clues? I started barking up the fuel injector tree. They aren't the easiest thing to get at. Are they under the "big black plastic air manifold" (showing my ignorance)? Any help would be greatly appreciated! |
