Just wanted to say thanks to all who gave me direction on my misfire problem.

I replaced everything, cap and rotor, plugs (which i was told were autolites but turned out to be champions), wires, coil. Whats funny is a shop said they checked all of those and they were fine. But they wernt. Coil was rusted completely and the terminal was bent. The rotor was burnt up and was bent almost at a 90 degree angle sideways. The cap's rotor button was burnt and chipped. And the wires were ac delcos (i bought them in a last restort situation) and never fit properly.

I went with a mopar cap, and i gave the autolite wires a shot. So far, i like em. I also pulled the injectors and gave them a sonic bath. Talk about a PITA... Had some nice black sheot comin out of the ends in the bath. Reinstalling them was another story... i busted through 3 o rings puttin em back in. And not to mention the 4 times i had to pull em out and re do them because of leaks. I guess its one of those things on doin a job you havent done before. Now if i had to do it again i would know what to do completely. I know some of yall are gonna say i should have checked the cap my self, but i was kind of intimidated with it bein in its location. But i got over it and i can do it anytime now.

I also picked up a 14' edlebrock air cleaner that advance had on sale. Ditched the home maid peice of crap. There is an extreme sucking sound now, i enjoy it. Im considering goin to the chrysler auto program at my local college, and after this job im definatly confident i can do this.

So again, Thanks yall.

 

Misfire? Hell I'm surprised it was running after you described what was wrong.

Maybe you should stop taking your rig to 01DodgeRam360's mechanic.

Great news, and a bit of advice. Any time the injectors and/or fuel rail are pulled, *ALWAYS*, *ALWAYS*, *ALWAYS* replace the injector o-rings. They only cost a couple of dollars and are, IMO, cheap insurance against leaks and potential fire. Always remember to lubricate them before assembly to prevent tearing. Regular engine oil or PBlaster works great.

 

yep, i did that. advance had them (felpro) for 3.88 for 4. the dealer... $15.00 for 2. According to the haynes manuel you slip them on and put a light bit of clean engine oil on them before inserting into the fuel rail. still had troubles... and ended up havin go to back for more o rings before it was said and done with.

 

I think it was Silver said don't use the ones from Advance because while cheap they are rubber and the gas will eat them away. Get the ones from Summit. I forgot what they are made of. Maybe he will chime in.
