It depends on the type of ignition system you have. Some have ignition coils at each spark plug, or coils for each plug away from the plug, or coils for every 2 plugs, or a single coil for all plugs. So the coil could be bad, or perhaps simpler the spark plug wire could be bad, or a bad spark plug. If you have a distributor it could be the cap or the signal rotor. There are other possibilities including the Electronic Control Unit, and electromagnetic interference (not likely).

1999 Plymouth breeze got spark to two cylinders but not the other two you have replaced the pcm and the same thing any answers?

If your 1999 Plymouth Breeze is getting spark to only two cylinders, the issue may be related to the ignition system components, such as the ignition coil or the distributor (if applicable), which could be failing to provide spark to the other cylinders. Additionally, check for any wiring issues or poor connections in the ignition circuit. It’s also worth inspecting the crankshaft position sensor, as it can affect spark timing and delivery. Lastly, ensure that the spark plugs and their wires are in good condition for proper operation.

Why are only 6 of 8 cylinders firing on my 1996 ford thunderbird V8?

If you are aware of which two cylinders are NOT firing, I would change out the spark plug wires and the spark plugs with brand new for those two cylinders. If you aren't sure which cylinders AREN'T firing, then do a complete change of new wires and spark plugs. HINT: Try not to use Bosch plugs... I did, and had all kinds of trouble with them even tho they were inexpensive and supposed to be just as good.


What else could be wrong if 2 cylinders are misfiring after getting water into the motor through the intake after the spark plugs and ignition coils have been replaced and it is still misfiring?

I really hate to be the one to tell you the bad news but it is possible that you have bent some valves. Take the spark plugs out of the missing cylinders and run a compression check on those two.

Need Spark plug wire diagram 1992 Honda cbr 600 f2?

The spark plug wiring is fairly simple; first note that cylinders are labelled 1 - 4 from left to right while sitting on the seat facing forward. There is a coil for cylinders 2 & 3 and a coil for cylinders 1 & 4. The spark plug wires normally have a tag labelled 1- 4 on them but if not see below. * coil for # 2 & 3 cylinders have the two spark plug wires that are normally closest in length - the wires do not have an order as long as the come from the 2/3 coil and can reach the 2 & 3 cylinder. * coil for # 1 & 4 cylinders will have either two wires that are longer than the wires on the 2/3 coil or one really long spark plug wire and one short spark plug wire. The spark plug wires also do not have an order as long as they reach the spark plugs.

How many spark plugs does a 650 v star have?

The "V" in "V-Star" specifically means V-twin. (All these bikes are V-Twins.) This is the cylinder configuration of the engine (The cylinders form a V shape). Most models of bike whos names begin with V have engines of this type. Some have four cylinders (V-Four), others have two (V-Twin). VFR and VTR for example. Since only one spark plug is necessary per cylinder, a V-Twin (having two cylinders) only has two spark plugs. A V-Four, on the other hand, has four. Similarly, V-6 and V-8 engines have 6 and 8 cylinders / spark plugs respectively. Any engine will have the same number of spark plugs as it has cylinders.
