Obd ii code reader provided you the code p1320 amd p0420 for 2000 infiniti i30 how do you know what cylinder has the bad ignition coil?

Pull out eack spark plug individually, the one that's not working will look wet or oilly. It will look wet because the gasoline is not burning completely or at all. That would be the ignition coil to replace.


What do you do when your 94 Toyota Camry's driver's side key hole doesn't turn and unlock when you insert the key?

Try lubricating the lock with WD-40. Work key in-and-out and back-and-forth. If it doesn't seem to be working, I'd take it to a locksmith shop and have them fix it. This can happen when your key gets wet, such as when it's raining and your key gets wet. When this happens, just be sure to dry the key before inserting it into the ignition.


Why does a 1996 VW Jetta not start and when it does start it cuts off when you give it gas after the engine got wet at a car wash?

You probably need to replace your ignition coil. This is a common problem. Whenever there are heavy rains or you go through a carwash, the car stalls and won't restart until the coil drys out. Something electrical has gotten wet. Letting it set overnight will sometime dry it out. Otherwise you need to find out what got wet. A can of CRC fast drying electronic cleaner will remove moisture and dry out connections. Sold at most auto parts stores.


Why might a 97 Astro van not start when it rains but will start after everything is dry from the heat?

Change your spark plugs, your wires, cap distributor and rotor. I'm pretty sure your problem is there. This just happened to me. Before you change your plugs, wires, and cap, try this first. Pull the cowling (engine cover) off, locate the 'ignition coil' and try to start the engine. Look at the coil and check for arcing. Race the engine a little to see an arc. I replaced the coil, and the problem was solved. I had this exact problem with my 98 Astro Van, for a number of years. When it was very damp outside (lots of dew or condensation) the Van wouldn't start. When it was dry, it would start well. --> Eventually I found the problem. The ignition coil was defective, i.e. it had a crack in the coil case. When it was damp out, the coil case would become wet, and the electricity would short (arc) to the coil frame. Hence, no electricity would flow into the distributor, or plugs, etc... When it is dry, it is harder for it to short to ground, so the cracked coil will work (somewhat). To check for this, try the following when it won't start. Lift your engine cover off and locate the coil. Make sure the wire (coil to the distributor) is firmly connected at both ends. Turn the key and watch the coil. If you see blue-white electrical arcing, you have a bad coil. I changed mine over a year ago, I have never had this problem since. Note: For this specific problem, change your coil before you spend money on plugs, wires, etc...


Is it bad if a puzzle gets wet?

If the puzzle is made out of card board, it is probably a bad idea to let it get wet, because it will get very flimsy, and it will be hard to pick up and place the pieces.
