98 contour random misfire help

[CTdameis]

I have a 98 contour 6 cyl 2.5, the computer says it has a random misfire
i changed all the plugs and wires its a random misfire so i dont think its the timing i dont want to buy a computer or coil till im sure thats the problem

Just make sure the wires are secure to the coil pack and some sort of electrical grease is applied to the contact point of the spark plugs and spark plug wires.

it says the missfire is in cyl #1,2,and 3. i dont know if that makes a difference. so your sure its not the computer or coil?

could be a coilpack issue, but i just find it hard to believe that all 3 cylinders on one side of the engine are all misfiring. Does it misfire constantly or just every now and then?

every time i start it but its not constant, i can feel it hesitating uasualy when i stop then go.

when you replaced the spark plugs did you gap them accordingly?

is the ignition module located at the bottom of the coil pack? but yes all the plugs are gaped accordingly and all the wiring is correct.

also it couldn't be a problem with the plugs or wires because it had this problem before i changed them
