What are the causes of engine cylinder misfire?
1 Answers
Engine cylinder misfire can be caused by: 1. Spark plug clogging or damage; 2. Issues with cylinder wires; 3. Problems with the ignition coil; 4. Fuel injector clogging or low voltage, leading to loss of fuel injector data within the DME; 5. Issues with the air-fuel mixture; 5. Problems with cylinder pressure. Engine cylinder misfire can have severe consequences for the engine. After misfire, high concentrations of hydrocarbons enter the exhaust system, causing excessive tailpipe emissions. High hydrocarbon concentrations can also increase the temperature of the catalytic converter, potentially damaging it in severe cases.
