The warning light has come on if i stay on the gas to long with it missing and it said the number 4 cylinder was misfiring. I have been putting in fuel injector cleaner every oil change but that does not help. Any suggestions( please let them be cheap solutions  . |
It sounds like it could be in the ignition. Try pulling the plugs out and make sure the gap is proper - too much gap and it will miss on acceleration. Also, it could be a bad coil. You can check this by pulling one plug wire off the coil block at a time, while the engine is running, and seeing if it runs rougher or not. If this does not help, then you could have a plugged injector. If a prior diagnosis indicated a problem with #4 cylinder, you could try another injector; salvage yards have lots of them - cheap.
