Could the spark wire be bad?Originally Posted by ArtemLepilov

Today i pulled everything off the engine - namely the harness will try to find a cause for the misfire problem. This really pisses me off... Does anyone know what else I can do?

Possibly - thats why I took the wiring harness off - im going to check and see... Unfortunately I need to do a hell of a lot of work in astronautics at the same time and ship a lot of items... This is a very very bad time for me... This week is going to be hell.

Did you try moving coil from number 4 to another cyl to see if you just have a bad coil?

did you check that you were getting the signal to that fuel injector?, the power should be constant with the key on and the computer triggers it with a pulsed ground signal
all america wants is cold beer warm cat and a place to take a poop with a door on it
Are both the coil and the fuel injector work together with the same pulse at the same time?

no but one can shut down the other

so, when there is no continued circuit on the fuel injector, there is no spark? Is that how it works?
-Artem
Note - some people suggested that a faulty crank position sensor can cause that problem. Is that even plausible? please let me know - I really need to get the car running asap!!!

I don't find this plausible. If the crank position sensor was faulty you would not be able to start the car. And then - why necessarily 4th cylinder? There must be something else.Originally Posted by ArtemLepilov
