So my check engine light came on last week on my 98 ls (stock) and of course living in NY we have stupid emmisions and I need inspection at the end of month.So I had my buddy scan the car and it said it was miss firing on cylinder 2. So I went and did full tune up thinking this would take of problem still no luck.Any one have any ideas? The only other thing I can think is maybe distributor?Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

is the engine actually misfiring? if so also could check fuel injector, valve clearance

 

I do feel a little bit of a skip when idle but other than that it feels normal.

 

Just wondering what all you changed for your full tune up...

Did you try and reset it? It come back right away?

 

I did plugs,wires,cap and rotor I didnt try to reset it though,but still feel the skipping at idle

 

Reset the light and see if the code comes back before you do anything else.

 

reset the ecu was good for about 83 miles then came back

 

we have emissions check here in ohio too. reset the ecu so the light goes off, drive it for about 20 miles (a little hard maybe even), then go get it tested. it will pass.

 

cool thanks for the help guys,got it inspected now would just like to fix it so Im guessing start with injectors.although Im thinking bout boosting so might wait on injectors.

 

Hi, I have a 00 Ls (stock) integra and having the same problems....But my is miss firing on cylinder 3 and I change out the spark plugs wires, 4 spark plugs, and rotor and caps. Drove the car for 3 days and now the check engine light came back on. anyone can help me? =(

 

Did you use OEM Honda wires? Usually a seperate misfire is due to a wire. Aftermarket wires are not of the same quality as oem many times, and this may be the problem. One way to check would be to switch the complete wire to another cylinder on both the dizzy and the spark plug. If the code changes to the other cylinder misfire, then the wire is the issue. You may also want to check for water or oil in the spark plug wire "hole." That can also lead to a misfire. I have never heard of anything other than an ignition system issue causing this code...Good luck!

 

Yes, I use all oem Honda Parts!

Parts that I replaced:

Spark plugs wires (oem) From Honda
Spark plugs 4 (oem) From Honda
Rotor and Caps (oem) From Honda

Don't know what else could be the problem?

 

mines missfiring a lil i can hear at idle but drives fine! i'm thinken its the obd2 distributor cuz its kind of old..and my obd 1 got jacked!

 

I used aftermarket wires so I'll have to get oem ones and try that see if it makes a difference.

 

Thats same thing happen to me and I switch to (oem) Honda Parts and still makes no difference?

 

yupp really makes no difference. probly just new cap/rotor i'm guessing

 

I put a diferent dizzy when mine did this it worked. and made sure timing was right.

 

He said he did the cap and rotor already...

 

how many miles are on theses cars, maybe you should do a compression check if you know somone that has the tools to do it (thats just an easy check if you know somone and dont have to pay for it)

 

I've got 94,543 miles as of today and I'm thinking about trying to change out the dizzy to see if the check engine light would stay off?
