Default RE: Bad Misfire

ORIGINAL: madmike

"There is one cylinder that is causing the problem, when you hammer the gas, other cylinders are missfireing due to that one, not really a significant issue."

How would other cylinders misfire due to one cylinder misfiring? Or they seem to misfire? Just curious. And yes I am old school when it comes to trouble shooting.
They will missfire due to the imbalance of the crankshaft and other components when that one cylinder will miss-fire... basically its a chain reaction. If you have a tech II you can watch this simply by removing a plug wire on a cylinder and then hitting the gas, you will see the misfires increase on the other cylinders,typically the next closely tied cylinder will have the next most number of missfires....
