In any car, if you have a specific cylinder misfire, check the spark plug, spark plug wire, fuel injector, and compression. The computer could also have a problem. You will need to consult the detailed manufacturer's diagnostic chart for that, but the basics remain the same.

What to do if your pistol misfires?

It depends on what caused the misfire, and it depends on what you mean. If you are having constant misfires, then there is either something wrong with your ammo, or there is something wrong with the pistol. If you mean what is the proper procedure for clearing a misfire, then you keep the gun pointed in a safe direction and rack the slide to eject the bad round, or open the cylinder and eject it if it is a revolver.


Dodge Caravan cylinder not firing?

First things to look at are your distributor cap and rotor, spark plug for that cylinder, and the spark plug wire to that cylinder. If you can't see anything physically wrong with any of those, try switching the spark plug with one from another cylinder, if the misfire moves to the new cylinder, you'll know the plug is bad. If it wasn't the plug, try switching the plug wire with another of the same or similar length, again, if the misfire moves to the new cylinder, you'll know the wire is bad. If that doesn't help, ask "What could cause misfire?" in the Ask box above or click on the link below to that question and answer. There is a lot of information about misfires there.
