Misfire
Ok - heres the problem...consistant misfire in cylinder #3 according to the error code. (but only at idle!!!)
Here is what I have tried/replaced so far: Spark Plugs Spark Plug wires Cam shaft position sensor fuel injector ignition coil And yet I am STILL getting a misfire in #3... Can anyone give me another idea, maybe something I missed. I thought of fuel pump, but if it was that it wouldnt be a consistant #3 misfire. Any thoughts ideas would be much appriciated as I am at my wits end. Please email me at hdg99@yahoo if you can help...thanks

Re: Misfire
Try switching #2 & #3 wires to see IF that makes a difference? It could be a bad plug wire.

Re: Misfire
Turbo?
Get some starting fluid and spray it along the intake manifold seams - if idle smooths out, you have a bad intake gasket...

Re: Misfire
I changed my plugs a while back which solved my misfire for a while. Now it's back with a vengance. I just ran two containers of STP fuel injector cleaner and it runs much better. I just now tripped a code, so I need to see what is really going on.
