What does it mean when a cylinder is misfired?
If your scan tool’s misfire history indicates multiple cylinder misfires, focus on the cylinder with the most misfire counts. The misfire counts on adjacent cylinders are often “sympathetic” misfires that will often disappear when the primary misfire is repaired.
How to diagnose an intermittent engine misfire?
When diagnosing intermittent misfires, don’t forget to look at pending codes for indications of an individual cylinder misfire. If your scan tool’s misfire history indicates multiple cylinder misfires, focus on the cylinder with the most misfire counts.
Can a misfire be detected in an OBD II engine?
One very important point to keep in mind about OBD II misfire detection is that the system does not tell you why the engine is misfiring. OBD II can give you an exact count of the misfires cylinder by cylinder (which you can find in Mode $06 with a scan tool), but it can’t tell you what’s causing the misfires.
What is the DTC for a single cylinder misfire?
Note that a DTC for a single-cylinder misfire, such as P0304, indicates that cylinder No. 4 is misfiring, not the fourth cylinder in the firing order. If the misfire is inconsistent or occurs on multiple cylinders, the PCM sets DTC P0300.
