Each cylinder needs fuel, compression and spark. You are missing one of those.
Yes, it could.
check plugs, wires, or coil packs. on cylinder #5. But if your changing plugs or wires do them all at one not just #5. ------------------------- Dont forget to check the Fuel Injector also. You can test the injector by swapping the # 5 injector with the injector from any other cylinder. If the miss changes cylinder then the injector is bad.
If you have an engine code that is saying misfire on these cylinders it is usually a bad coil on the plugs of those cylinders. You are probably going to need to have them replaced. Check and replace the plugs if necessary.
start with wires
fouled plug 5 dollars bad coil 42 dollars or cloged fuel injector. run injector cleaner through it
Cylinder #4, is located on the Pass. Side near the fire wall. Cylinder #5 is located on the Driver Side (First one)
You may need to replace at least the one fuel injector at that cylinder, also. Cleaners added to the gas tank wont help at this point, typically.
Depends on the transmission and year. 5 or 6 cylinder? What is the problem with the transmission?

Check for spark.
it sounds like you need to change the spark plugs and possibly the ignition wires I have 98 Malibu 3.1. Miss-fire cyl #5 started in 2004. Changed spark plugs and wires replaced injector 5. Problem seemed to be gone. Came back couple years later. have replaced wires and plugs switched coils and still miss-fire #5. I live with problem. Never dies and clears up after 5-10 min. Happens when hot and sits for less than 1 hr.
