it's possible, also check compression, fuel supply, and vacuum leaks.
what are the possible causes of misfire on number one cylinder in a dodge 2003 ram 4.7 liter engine
Number 1 cylinder is not firing properly probably a bad coil pack or a bad coil depending on the engine
With multiple misfires originating from the same coil pack, my guess would be to replace the driver's side coil pack.
If check engine light is on, have a parts store read the code. It will tell you there is a random misfire and usually what cylinder is misfiring. Replace the coil pack for that cylinder and all will be well.
Coil pack and the spark plug- check compression
AnswerWhat is the computer saying? Have you run a diagnostic test?Well if it is saying cylinder misfire, then its two things, needs new plugs and wires, and coil pack, so test to see if ur coil packs are working. So if the test is saying for example cylinder 5 misfire, check the coil pack for cylinder 5. You know how to test the coil packs, Take off the plug wire of the coil pack one at a time, so just take of cylinder 5 wire from the coil pack and start the car if the pack is good you should be able to see the spark of the coil pack. if nothing its bad...thats a 30.00$ fix.Hope this helps..This happen to mine.
have misfire on #5 on a ford f150 4.6. changed spark plug and coil pack and injector.
it could be as minor as a tune up (spark plugs and wires)(or bad distributor coil pack). or possibly a faulty fuel injector.
It would be a bad wire or plug
How is your coil pack ?
I found the easiest way to do this is read the codes, if it is reading a misfire on one cylinder, then swap that coil pack with one of the other cylinders coil packs, then you will have to clear the codes and drive it, then see if it throws a new code on a different cylinder.
usually a misfire is either the spark plug or coil pack for that cyl. first I would change plug then change coil pack Take to dealer is still under waranty? Try replacing spark plugs.
