A vehicle may not run on all cylinders due to various issues, including faulty spark plugs, which can prevent proper ignition, or a malfunctioning fuel injector that disrupts fuel delivery to one or more cylinders. Additionally, problems such as low compression caused by worn piston rings or valve issues can lead to reduced cylinder performance. Vacuum leaks and electrical issues, such as a bad ignition coil, may also contribute to misfiring and uneven operation. Regular maintenance can help identify and rectify these problems.

Not hitting no all 6 cly?

If an engine with six cylinders is not hitting on all cylinders, it could be due to several issues such as a faulty spark plug, a clogged fuel injector, or problems with the ignition system. Additionally, a vacuum leak or compression issues may also cause uneven firing. Diagnosing the specific cylinder or cylinders not firing can help identify the root cause and lead to a proper fix. Regular maintenance and timely inspections can help prevent this issue.
