cylinder 2 misfire
Recently my toyota camry 2009 xle 4cylinder started jerking especially when
cracking it early in the morning or anytime the engine is off and parked for a
while. this has triggered the check engine light to come up and after running
a scan the problem code was cylinder 2 misfire.
since then have change both the coil and the Spark plug but still the vehicle
still jerks whenever i start for like 15secs before being stable.
what could have been wrong, or is it that the engine is bad?
I posted this to show where number 2 cylinder is located. Check fuel--spark--compression on that cylinder.
Just to add, the basics for a rough idle, check for a leak of some kind, fuel--egr--vacuum.
It can be a few different things. Vacuum leaks and valve cover leaks can throw a misfire code. Can also be a bad injector. A smoke test and compression test can help narrow things down.
loose electrical connection to the injector can cause this as well.
Not to start a discussion, but I don't think these have distributors, but maybe a distributor box Is that so?
thank so much for all the answers. like have said ealier, the engine is a 4cylinder
Have you been able to figure out what the problem was? I am having the exact same issue.
