Can anyone else second tonyz on passenger side cylinder 6?

 

 

yes no 6 would be against firewall according to the pic

 

drivers side

 

That's the one I changed.

 

well i probably would change the plug wire before the coil pack if you only switched the plug out on the n0. 6 cyl it could be a bad wire. when you switched plug out did you put a new one in or just swap 6 to 5

 

is your engine running rough at all R.P.M.S or is it just at idle that your light comes on if only at idle it could be a bad throttle position sensor if your rpms get to low that could send a false signal to your ecm because your engine wants to stall

 

Try sea-foaming it. Get some electrical cleaner and clean your MAF maybe check your Filter too. And check the timing on it. Check the fuel filter too. Those are all the things I would check on it first. Pretty easy and cheap things to do.

 

I just changed the plugs in my 01' 3.0L. Wires have numbers on them as such if your looking into the engine bay from the front of the truck:


Passenger __ Driver
3 __________6
2 __________5
1 __________4

 

It could be a valve issue, but if it only does it sometimes probably not. To check the injectors you need a Noid Light or a test light should work. To do unplug the injector you want to check with light attached to harness side of connector. and watch it flash, which would indicate it is firing. You could possibly have a bad wire to the injector. You could trace it back to the pcm and check for continunity. The injectors also should have 12v at the connector. You could check for this also. I hope this helps.

 

All brand new wires. The one in 6 was brand new so I swapped it with 5. Now it won't hold a solid check engine light, just flash at idle.

That is quite a possibility. What's the best way to check the TPS?

I'll do a seafoam on it today, clean the maf, and air filter. How would I check the timing? Fuel filter is brand new.

I'll look into this. Thanks.

 

Just Seafoamed it, Cleaned MAF, and TB... we'll see what happens.

 

Welp last night check engine came back and flashed a bit. As soon as I started driving again it went away.

sigh.
