If they are misfiring what would it take to fix them? My friend said his are misfiring, and he's not sure what to do about it. Any help would be great. TIA.

 

Not entirely sure how a piston misfires, but ill pretend we are on the same wavelength for a second

Might try checking the spark plugs, if they look like hell then you have a problem...

Then again there are so many things that could cause a misfire I think its almost impossible to figure out what is wrong without a more detailed account of what exactly is going on

best of luck with that

 

Thanks, I'm not exactly sure what is going on either. He just called me last night and told me that I need to come fix his car, the pistons are misfiring. And I don't know what would cause that.

 

Check the actual code on his car.

Replace the distributor cap & rotor, plug wires and plugs. If yolu have a problem after that then .

 

Ok, thanks.

 

i may have a similar problem with my friends 94 civic ex. he switched the plug wires on the distributor. its runs like hell now even after we switched them back. can anyone give me some insigth was to what is happening and how to correct this porblem

 

i was misfiring when i went to the dyno to tune. my tuner told me to get msd along with coil and cap.

did you get the plug wires back in the right order ?


As for the original poster... buy some new spark plugs NGK5F-11 set of 4 prob $8 throw them in and see what happens ... go from there

Those are the spark plugs that it probably calls for under the hood... they are suppose to be changed every 15k

 

It wasn't for an integra, it was for a camaro.

new sparkplugs still apply, but uhhh your in the integra forum ?

 

I believe that, "I'm having a cylinder misfiring problem," would be a more correct way of saying it.

"Help, my piston's misfiring," is on about the same level as, "Quick, get me some alternator fluid."

 

yeah try checking the plugs and wires and make sure they are good and all of them are connected together, then check the distributor and if that aint helpin than u need to seek a professional help. a missfire could be cause d by alot of things

Also, don't forget to check your spark plug bearings and your connecting rod gaskets while you change the crankshaft springs in your transmission housing.

EDIT: I have a lot of free time. Can you tell?
