I purchased a 96 GSR back in July. Already dumped a couple of grand into it to try to fix things (brake master, clutch master, oil pan gasket, compressor, etc.) After a month or so I got a CEL cylinder misfire 1 and 2. I replaced the plugs and wires (Denso Iridium, OEM Wires) thinking that might fix my problem. To my surprise no it didn't. A reputable shop in my area told me that if it had anything to do with the Distributor it would show up a CEL as well. I heard that OBD-2 is so sensitive that the least little thing will set it off. What could be the problem? HELP
this shiot is pissing me off!

 

have you checked your timing.....

 

if my timing was off, could it be that i could find a little more power? no i have not checked that, good call

anyone else have any thoughts?

oh yeah i forgot to mention that sometimes it only comes up as cylinder misfire on 2, but never 3 or 4

Did you replace the distributor cap and rotor as well? It is most likely distributor/ignition related as the shop said.

By that I meant that it would throw a Distributor code sorry for the confusion.

 

check the cap and rotor to see what they look like. Since its just one 2 cylinders maybe only those 2 prongs are worn down.

check the coil since your dizzy is out.

 

thanks

 

if youve checked all that the next step i would take is a compression check.

 

This may sound weird but I think your problem may be as simple as adjusting your valves. We had a CRV that did this. It came up as a miss fire. The valves were so out of adjustment they were opening late or prematurely, I don’t remember. Anyway it cured the problem. Besides when was the last time you did it??

 

doesn't matter now i fuked it up and it is in the shop
