Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I bought a 1999 Pontiac Sunfire gt the

fuel injector in and it was still misfiring the
misfire rate goes down the faster you go

but it went away and came back I just
don't know where to go from here any help

You have two coil packs, and if one were bad you would have more than one cylinder misfire, but check covers for any hot spots or signs or arcing. A noid light would help determine if you have proper pulse signal supplied by PCM. A loss of fuel pressure can also cause misfire, check fuel rail and regulator, esp. at misfiring cylinder, that's where I'd start looking.

2001 Pontiac Sunfire engine noise. The noise can be described as a ticking noise that accelerates with additional throttle. Engine cylinder head was replaced right before the noise began. I have already replaced the oil with little luck. The noise seems to start when the engine warms up and quiets down at high speeds. Any suggestions. 11 Answers
