Crank position sensor........going bad.....You didn't say what car it is..but.. some have two signals coming from it. 3x pulse and a 16x pulse. If either one of these pulses fail, your car wont fire right or not at all. It will still run if the cam sensor is a miss, though...
Chek out the ignition coils, the wires and the spark plugs..
start with new plugs
most misfires are caused by bad spark plugs, plugwires, coils, module, alternator or fuel injectors that need to be cleaned
Most likely, the problem is the ignition coils, though it's a good idea to change the wires while you're in there.
When your check engine light comes on have it diagnosed and it will tell you which celinder is misfiring and you reolace tha coil.I would say ignition coils. I have a 1999 Licoln TC and must replace all 8 due to misfires as vehicle approches 100K miles. Remember also if you change your coils install new spark plugs!
Usually that is caused by one or more compromised ignition coils. Common problem on the LS. Water migrates along wires through to the ignition coils that are just above the spark plugs. Water rusts and thus compromises ignition coils. Oil infiltrates through gasket and soaks coils thus compromising them. Problem is reputed to be occasional, but I have a feeling that this occurs all too often. Many if not ALL LS owners suffer through this.
The first coil is on passenger side by firewall and then go from there.
Yes, common problems with the ignition coils on a 1999 Mitsubishi Galant include misfires, reduced engine performance, and difficulty starting the engine. Over time, these coils can wear out due to heat and electrical stress, leading to inconsistent spark delivery. Additionally, faulty coils may trigger the check engine light, indicating a need for inspection or replacement. Regular maintenance can help identify issues before they lead to more severe engine problems.
from my research and trolling thro a lot of MPV forums, this vehicle has issues with Coils going bad. So, please check that first. In case you are changing the coils, remember to change the spark plugs too.
The first step in resolving this problem will require isolating and diagnosing the problem(s) causing the misfires. These include the spark plugs, plug wires, ignition coils, and the ignition command module, among others.
I had this on my 2000. Check the spark plug wires. I installed new ones and it ran like new.
To troubleshoot and replace faulty oven coils, first, turn off the power to the oven. Then, locate the coils and check for any visible signs of damage or wear. If the coils are faulty, you can replace them by disconnecting the old coils and installing new ones following the manufacturer's instructions. Be sure to test the oven after replacing the coils to ensure they are working properly.
