Same #'s ...coil plugs are good. Misfires are roaming from bank to bank...that's the issue.by vza - Main Forum
Well ...now you got me thinking...had no misfires before I changed plugs. Replaced the ngk's that were there with the same ngk which are correct. Pre-gapped to.81mm. Now both Autozone and NGK said they SHOULD be pre-gapped(what ever that means) these are dual electrode plugs and not too sure how to check anyway! Any thoughts?by vza - Main Forum
Thanks ...That's what I was thinking (why would the errors be going back and forth from bank to bank) I did re-time Bank 2 just to be sure but it was such a minimal adjustment I don't think that it could have done any damage on that bank(engine was running quiet) well.... just anxious to see what the batt does.

Thanks...I did remember getting a code having to do with insufficient heat for the O2's...gona hope for the battery....do you think if I did head damage by running the engine while bank 1 was untimed I would get misfires on bank 2 then flip flop and get them on bank 1....or is this a completely different issue.?by vza - Main Forum
Hi Pedro...just another question...did some work removing cam covers, replacing solenoid and ramps...buttoned everything up and got awful tap noise on Bank 1 ran the engine some(idled only) cause I thought it was the tappets not building pressure(advice from other forums) turned out I lost timing on Bank 1 ....retimed bank 1 noise went away sounded good got a CEL for misfires on Bank 2 and O2 senby vza - Main Forum
Hmm..would be something if it were just the batt. Yeah they (seller) had to jump the car every time I went to test drive it.and if I don't start it for a few days it'll be dead.Was just holding off so I wouldn't have a new batt sitting in a cold garage for the winter. So your saying the batt can be taxing the alternator therefore not supplying the car w enough voltage. ? I'll buy a new batt thisby vza - Main Forum
I timed the cams and certain they're good. I had misfires on bank 2 and stalls ......ruff idle, O2 codes then changed the MAF and it all went away BUT now have misfires on Bank 1 INSTEAD of Bank 2 that's what I meant by 'computer's all over the place' finding errors willy nilly. I guess I can check knock sensors...read some where low voltage can cause this as well. My Batt is weak and needs to beby vza - Main Forum
Changing coolant and got about 4 gallons out, removed supply and return hoses ,core hoses...wheres the other 2 or so gallons. Want to get it all out cause previous owner may have used incorrect coolant..was green not pink.by vza - Main Forum
Thanks for the response...had flashing CEL a while back but went solid. Odd thing I had misfires on Bank 2 with O2 codes and stalling.. replaced MAF.. all misfires O2 and stalling gone Now misfires on Bank 1...computers all over the place. DME?by vza - Main Forum
Well....Got rid of exhaust leaks,Installed new MAF ...no stalls at start up....no misfires on 4-5 or 6 anymore....no o2 codes. NOW I'm getting misfires on 1-2 and 3 which I never got before.Codes are as follows: P1319 P1313 P1314 P1315 Misfires on 1-2 and 3 Emission relevant. Can I drive to a mechanic or should I flatbed it?? Fuel trim bouncing around Bank 1 -0.8 to -1.6 Bank 2 0.08 to 1.6 thby vza - Main Forum
Hi All, Here is a quick overview of work I have done. Had a CEL for solenoid in Bank 2. Pulled Cams and replaced Solenoid Bank 2 and replaced Variocam Ramps for both Banks. New IMS,RMS,Case Bolts,AOS,Plugs(IRIDIUMS). Buttoned everything up and had nasty Tap/Tick. Thought it was lifters not pumping up. Ran the car cumulatively for about an hour(not all at once...idle w some revs.) to pump up lifteby vza - Main Forum
