Ok so I started my car, while still warm, and it started stuttering-at idle and while accelerating was worse. Chk Engine light came on. Took it to autozone-free daig- says it #2 cylinder misfiring. What is weird, is if I start it cold, it is fine, but if I cut it off and then try to restart, it is crappy again. Could this be the coil pack? I checked the wires and plugs, everyting looks good. Any ideas?

 

if you got a meter put it on your coil and compare the Ohms
between them ... most prob its a bad coil

 

Take the coil pack off cyclinder 2 and put it on 1 or 3. If the misfire changes, replace the coil pack. Also check the spark plug. I had the same problem a bout three months ago and it turned out to be a cracked spark plug. Course the dealer tried to sell me a new coil pack. After I figured out it was only the plug I kept the new coil and made them give me my money back.

 

Probably coild pack. See if the code follows the pack when you switch it to another cyl

 

Where do i place the meter?

 

I bought a new coil, replaced #2, it did not work....i swaped each cylinder out, one at a time, no positive results. Any help at all? I also changed the plugs..no avail....i am getting desperate here.

 

COuld it be the ignition control module? How much are these and where is it located?

 

Possibly, depending on the engine.

run a search on misfire cyl 2 here or on audiworld. As I recall, there were a batch with bad connections for cyl 2 causing misfires. Someone on audiworld took it apart and found the problem.

 

Did you reset the error code?

 

yes I had the guy reset it. it came right back on....funny thing is that when it is cold, it operates fine, after it heats up is when it skips consistently
