Best Answer

either your coil pack, spark plug, or wire. i would take off the wire on the plug side and check for spark. if none then switch that wire on the coil side with another one on the coil side and see if its the wire ( leave the one you took off to test off) be sure to put them back in the right place. if no spark from either terminal replace wire first, dont forget to check for spark at the plug too. other then that it could be combustion or something which is outta my realm

What causes a Car to misfire after overheating?

Usually cars that have overheated will continue to run after you turn them off ---which is referred to as diseling (from disel engines). This is caused because the inside of the engine is so hot that the least amount of pressure causes the gas to fire and continue to run for a second or two. Not sure, but the misfire you observed may be due to pre-mature ignition due to the high heat that resulted in the pistons firing in the wrong order. You could have also overheated it to the point you blew a head gasket. Check for possible water in your oil or oil in your water. This is a pretty good way of knowing. Otherwise check the compression of each cylinder.

A concrete pump which comprises an elongated hollow housing in which a valve element reciprocates. The valve element includes a pair of transversely extending tubes and a pair of concrete guiding chambers. The valve element moves between two positions. In the first position a first guide chamber is opposite a first pump cylinder and guides concrete from an upright conduit associated with the first pump cylinder into the first pump cylinder and a first tube is opposite a second pump cylinder and guides concrete from the second pump cylinder into a discharge line associated with the second pump cylinder. At the second position a second guide chamber is opposite the second pump cylinder and guides concrete from an upright conduit associated with the second pump cylinder into the second pump cylinder and the second tube is opposite the first pump cylinder and guides concrete from the first pump cylinder into the discharge line associated with the first pump cylinder.
