misfiring on #4 and #6 cylinders!!
by Krovian » Fri May 21, 2010 6:26 am
I am getting spark to the plug but no combustion!! could it be valve sticking or broken, a lifter broken, a bent or broken push rod, or a loose, broken, or mis-aligned rocker; or all of the above. <sigh>

Hi there!
Has there been recent work done to it? Have the valve covers been off?
I'm thinking vacuum leak (i.e. intake gaskets, or a vacuum port that primarily draws from 4 and 6) is a likely cause. Beyond that it could be valvetrain related.

Do you feel it bucking or anything when driving. Have you changed the plugs or other ignition components?
