looked around here on zilvia and on NWN. no luck for my problem.

took my car for a spirited quick drive in the rain.its a dual cam. and. it was running perfect as normal. never had any problems with the motor besides timing chain rattle from that stupid top guide. anyways. i came home. went back out an hour later. start it. and it sounds like an effin subie. idk how many cylinders it could be not firing on. either 1 or 2. but its not good. seeing as im jobless i need the best solution. i can take a shitty cell phone video to show if you like. but i checked the plugs. theyre fine. a tad bit of oil on them. like. a drop at most. gapped right. the wires seem fine. nothing wrong with them. no burnt areas. and the dizzy cap n rotor are fine. i checked em all. started it again. still sounded like a subie. so im wondering if anyone has any idea wtf is wrong.

that and i have some wiring issues with my car. jdm gauge cluster doesnt light up. works fine. no lights. and my tailights just went out. brake lights work. but they dont have an idle light when i turn em on. and i need to figure how to hard wire my front blinkers since some tard before my cut the plugs off.

if anyone has some ideas on how to fix this stuff. since its all the pain in the ass with wiring. lemme know. as for miss firing? ill try in the morning and see if its just acting up. if anyone lives in the arlington/stanwood/marysville area. shoot me a text and you can come take a looksie.

there are A LOT of misfire threads on here kid.
do please use the search button.

misfire issues can be a lot of things.
but ill give you something to start with.

start your car.
pull out each spark plug wire from the cylinder.
one at a time to check which cylinders are firing correctly.

that isolates your problem.
