2000 series 2, short story...check my other post...
Finished the head gasket job today, started her up, had a misfire on 8. We did the plugs(Bosch 4) did the wires(Napa premium 7mm lifetime warranty) and changed numerous other necessities. Any ideas before we do a coil? Thanks gang!!

 

Was it a 308 code or a 1308 code? Was it quiet as to tappet noise?

 

When you Clear the fault. Does the code continuously return?

May need to run the engine a good bit to get that oil circulating....

 

I wasn't at work when this happened, I'll update later today if he's working on it Saturday. Not sure if he's off, thanks

 

I would check it for spark before replacing the coil pack. Maybe pull the plug and see if it's getting fuel if it does have spark.

 

Yea, he said no spark on #8. Hes off today but a tech here said it turned over last night and sounded great for about 10 mins. Then went to choppy and gross sounding. I wont find the code number til Monday.

 

Alright team, tech came in for a little. Said number 8 has no fire. He pulled the wires and said it was only one not firing. So he said I need a coil for that side. On top of that he accidentally broke a nipple on the radiator and now it needs a new one, whole thing. Not my expense

 

Wow. I like the garage already. I've had stuff, just break while in the garage. They say, "oh your xxx part finally failed on you, that's gonna add $$ to the bill."

Admittedly, a long while ago. Partly why I got better at fixing stuff myself.

Good luck with the misfire. They've obviously, swapped wires, and coils around, to verify that's the prob?

 

I don't think he did, he assured me he wants this truck out of his life just as much as I want it in mine! Ha. So hopefully new coils and a new radiator, their expense, is all I need to freedom!

 

Oh, if it's free coils,.... No brainer, take em. In fact get your old ones for spares. Or paper weights.

Looking forward to all being good.
