Mark, While pulling out your downpipe and manifold, you may have knocked the distributor cap out of whack. I've cracked distrib. caps pretty easy in the past (esp the non-Bosch ones), so its worth checking. Check for spark at the terminal on the cap as well (between the number 2 cylinder wire and the cap). If you don't see a spark, then there is obviously a problem with your cap/rotor (assuming the other three cylinders are firing correctly). Do you have a spare set laying around?
Hope this helps, Denis G. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Reda" <[email protected]> To: "a2list" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 15, 2004 10:35 PM Subject: [a2-16v-list] Passat 16V: Mis Firing I did a little checking around under the hood of the Passat. It appears that cylinder 2 is not firing. I unplugged spark plug wires one at a time and it didn't make a difference when I pulled plug wire #2. I pulled the spark plug out and it was covered in gas. I changed the plug wires with the ones on my Jetta and even replaced the spark plug with a spare I had around. It still mis fired on cylinder 2. hmmmmmmmm Mark. _______________________________________________ a2-16v-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.a2-16v.com/mailman/listinfo/a2-16v-list For list archives, see listinfo link above.
