1. Verify that the following conditions do not exist:

* The fuel injector wire harness electrical connectors are connected to the wrong fuel injectors. Refer to Engine Controls Schematics (See:

Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Powertrain Management/System Diagram).

* Engine vacuum leaks

* Fuel pressure that is too low or too high-Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis (w/o FPCM) (See: Powertrain Management/Computers and

Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)Fuel System Diagnosis (FPCM) (See: Powertrain

Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics).

* Contaminated fuel-Refer to Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis (Without Special Tool) (See: Powertrain Management/Computers

and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis

(Without Special Tool))Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis (Special Tool) (See: Powertrain Management/Fuel Delivery and Air

Induction/Fuel/Testing and Inspection/Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis (Special Tool)).

* Restricted exhaust system-Refer to Restricted Exhaust (See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Exhaust System/Testing and

Inspection/Restricted Exhaust).

瀚慖f you find any of the above conditions, repair as necessary.

2. Verify that there is no misfire on cylinders 1, 4, 6, or 7 due to cylinder deactivation-Refer to Cylinder Deactivation (Active Fuel

Management) System Diagnosis (See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests

and General Diagnostics/Cylinder Deactivation (Active Fuel Management) System Diagnosis).

3. Ignition OFF, install the J 26792 - Tester to the spark plug wire boot of the misfiring cylinder.

Note: An erratic or weak spark is considered a no spark condition.

4. Attempt to start the engine and observe the J 26792 - Tester. The spark tester should spark.

瀚慖f there is no spark, test the spark plug wire for the correct resistance, refer to Ignition System Specifications (See: Powertrain

Management/Ignition System/Specifications) and Spark Plug Wire Inspection (See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Engine/Tune-up and

Engine Performance Checks/Ignition Cable/Testing and Inspection).

瀚慖f the spark plug wire tests normal, refer to Electronic Ignition System Diagnosis (See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control

Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Electronic Ignition System Diagnosis) for diagnosis of the

ignition coil.

5. Ignition OFF, remove the spark plug from the misfiring cylinder. Verify that the following conditions do not exist with the spark plug:

* Gas, coolant, or oil fouled

* Cracked, worn, or incorrectly gapped-Refer to Spark Plug Inspection (See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Engine/Tune-up and Engine

Performance Checks/Spark Plug/Testing and Inspection).

瀚慖f there is a condition with the spark plug, replace the spark plug.

6. Exchange the suspected spark plug with another cylinder that is operating correctly.

7. Operate the engine under the conditions in which the misfire occurred. This may include putting the engine under a load or allowing the

engine to return to a cold condition. Observe the Misfire Current Counters with a scan tool. The misfire should not follow the spark plug

exchange.

瀚慖f the misfire follows with the spark plug, replace the spark plug.

8. If all conditions test normal, test or inspect for the following:

* A lean or rich fuel injector-Refer to Fuel Injector Diagnosis (CH47976) (See: Powertrain Management/Fuel Delivery and Air

Induction/Fuel Injector/Testing and Inspection)Fuel Injector Diagnosis (J39021 or Scan Tool) (See: Powertrain Management/Fuel

Delivery and Air Induction/Fuel Injector/Testing and Inspection).

* An engine mechanical condition-Refer to Symptoms - Engine Mechanical (See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Engine/Testing and

Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures/Symptoms - Engine Mechanical).

Repair Instructions

* Spark Plug Wire Replacement (See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Engine/Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks/Ignition Cable/Service

and Repair)

* Spark Plug Replacement (See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Engine/Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks/Spark Plug/Service and

Repair)

Repair Verification

1. Install any components that have been removed or replaced during diagnosis.

2. Clear the DTCs.

3. Turn OFF the ignition for 60 seconds.

4. If the repair was related to a DTC, duplicate the Conditions for Running the DTC and use the Freeze Frame/Failure Records, if applicable, in
