cylinder 2 misfire problem?
whats up guys, im having trouble with my 97 audi a4 quattro, i went to autozone and they told me that i have a cylinder 2 misfire, they said to replace the spark plugs and if that doesnt fix the problem to replace the coil pack, i did both and im still having the problem, the engine light is on, and the car is shaking alot, the engine is too loud, before this problem i could barely hear the engine...
thanks in advance guys
thanks in advance guys
Please dont listen to autozone hippies...
You should have first swapped the coil pack from the cyl that is missing to a different cyl to see if the miss follows the coil pack. Since that didn't work, and spark plugs are ok, it's gotta be your ICM/ignition amplifier. It's located on top of the airbox. Very common to get a cyl 2 miss when that goes bad, and they DO go bad. The ICM controls your firing order, unlike with newer 2000+ cars the firing order is controlled by the ECU which eliminates the ICM. I think you can find one on ebay for real cheap compared to the dealer or even autozone.
