(FIXED!!!) I have a 89 honda accord that has a miss on #2 cyl. I took the plug wire off of it while it was running and it didn't change any but it did when i took the other 3 off, 1 at a time. I put a new plug in that cyl. and still no change. It has new wires so I switched wires with another cyl. and still no change and it is getting fire to all plugs. What next or does anyone know what it might be. This is my first post so please bear with me, and take it easy on the newb'.

 

I switched the fuel injector with another cyl. and still no change. Any suggestions?

 

Run a compression test on that cylinder. It sounds like it could be lacking compression for ignition if the electrical and fuel system is ruled out.

Did it just start doing this out of the blue?

 

Thanks man and no I bought it this way.

 

Ok. It could be something causing the cylinder to have insufficient compression such as a stuck/bent valve, deep scoring on the cylinder walls, blown out rings, headgasket, broken ringlands/pistons, etc.

 

That's kinda what I was thinking. Thanks for the info and I will let you know what it is when I find out.

 

I adjusted the valves today and the miss is gone!!! #3 cylinder was so off that you could practically put a penny in between the valves. This site is so helpful and I appreciate all of the help.

 

Good to hear.
