Re: cylinder 4 misfire

have you tried moving coils around to see if the misfire moves? if doesn't move and is still misfire on #4 then I would suggest to replace the ICM. ( the plate that the coils sit on)

Re: 2000 SSEi problems: No Start, Need Help

do you know what the codes are? could be as simple as a garbage battery. or when you installed the starter you might have tighten the 10mm and 8mm bolts too tight and cracked the silonoid. try arking the starter and see if it spins up. just some suggestions.

Re: MIS IN MOTOR WONT POP A CODE OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT

if you had a bad injector you would have popped codes in P0201-P0206 for fuel injector circuit malfunction.
but to really check is to turn your key on to were the fuel pump starts then off, pull a plug 1 at a time and check if the plugs wet. This is were your eyes are going to be the judge on what ...

Re: Where do I start to troubleshoot?

WOW!! i just listened to the youtube vid and your motors pooched!
especially if you found your oil metallic looking.

you are better off getting another motor instead of trying to repair a money pit motor thats going to run you into the thousands and will most likely just pop again.

sorry for the ...

Re: Where do I start to troubleshoot?

the best way to remove the flywheel bolts is to remove the starter and have a flat head screwdriver to use to turn the flywheel and i believe the bolts are a 15mm or 18mm and use a wrench to loosen with the screw driver used as a wedge to stop the flywheel from turning as you take the bolts off ...

Re: Where do I start to troubleshoot?

in order to get the 6th is you have to take off passenger tire and have about 4'ft - 5'ft of extension.
the bolt is between the engine and transmission ...

Re: Add 2nd Battery for stereo??
