Rear cylinders misfiring

Post by Jase726 »

Any ideas what could cause 2 of the rear cylinders to misfire. Not sure which 2. I only know that it's the rear bank. It's currently sitting at the mechanics.
Thanks in advance.

Yep all of the above. Also double check all your coils and leads are in the right cylinders.
I fix cars.

Injectors

Did you do any work on the car before the misfire started?

It was the leads. Top Gun. Not even 2 years old. Thanks for the replies.

I remember when my last lot of leads caused misfiring. The only part of the lead that was still causing spark was white powder remnants of the wire coils :?. Pretty certain they were Top Gun leads also. But then I switched out for Magnecor
