2.2 # 4cyl misfire and engine noise


Recommended Posts

I have a 96 OBS and a few days ago it started to throw a cel. I checked it out and it was cyl 4 misfire(P0304) and a egr flow(P0400). I replaced the plug and the P0304 went away for 2-3 days and now its back along with a small klunking noise, like something is loose inside the engine. I also know 2-3 of the vla's on the same side dont bleed up and make a tapping noise. I hope its not a spun bearking but any ideas on what the noise might be or how I might go about checking it out further. I also checked the compression and got 180 and 175psi on cyl 4.

Could be the plug wire to that plug/cylinder. Could be an injector in that cylinder not spraying properly and cuasing missfires. I've had an injector go bad and not throw an ECU code :confused: OHMs resistance test on all injectors showed me the bad one.

 

Plugs and wires are cheaper; start there :)
