I dun fucked up

I’ll look for that. What’s the cause?

​

A common source for a misfire is arcing in the spark plug boot. Air can ionize and become more conductive. This can cause an arc adjacent to the spark plug insulator and eventual carbon tracking that makes the progression of the failure get worse.
This misfire feels like a stumble when the throttle is opened at light engine load. Usually going beyond 50% throttle will make the misfire go away because the arc voltage requirement of the spark plug gap does down as load increases.​

I’ll check it out. The coil boots are brand new, so I’d expect it to not happen but I need to check to be sure.
At first it was only having a misfire under light loads then it would go away when I floored it. Now it’s constant 100% of the time.

What do you call a misfire?
Did you check the fuel filter?

Idk what you mean by what do I call a misfire. I can feel and hear the engine running rough. I feels like a misfire (I've had misfires on multiple different vehicles before). Plus its throwing a code for cylinder 3 misfire.
Fuel filter is new too.

next guess would be the ECU or a loose/burnt wire either one could have happened when you hooked the jumper cables up backwards.

Yeah I'll have to start doing some diagnostics on the wiring. It's weird that it was running good, then intermittently for a bit, now it's constant. I'm going to mess with it some more before going for a head job. My goal is to do a V8 down the line, so I'd rather push this motor as far as I can before I have the time and money to jump into the big project of a v8. Fingers crossed it's something easy I have just missed.
What's weird is I'm getting a misfire on cylinder 3 which is the one with the coil, but I'm not cylinder 6 which shares a coil. Very odd if it was a wiring issue.

wait, didn't you leak test 3 and it pressurized the coolant system?

Yeah but it’s probably always been like that. I’ve always had a head gasket leak when it was cold. I just never measured how bad it was. It could be the same as it was or it could have gotten really bad really quick.

Head gasket if it did.

What was the outcome? Did you get it fixed?

Probably blown head gasket. Haven’t put much effort into it.

Fuck you're starting to sound like me. I actually put some effort in today. I've got a seized fucking ball joint on a LCA that doesn't wanna pop out. If it doesn't come out tomorrow after soaking in oil I may just have to buy some DK lowers.

I'm not that big of a sucker. DK lowers are like 1200 or something.

DK doesn’t have secondary shock mounts

Dude he is unemployed. Do you have any idea how many handjobs he'll have to give for those.











Just in case he considers it I am down for $20's worth.

"Technically" still employed.. except I'm not..
