Hello.

I was heading to Niagara fall from New Jersey. My car made unusal vibration with CEL after I stopped to have lunch even though the car was normal in the morning.

Since I've the 3 codes: cylinder 2, 5, and 6 misfires, I took it to a local shop. They put a HEET, new spark plugs, and fuel injector clearner but nothing to solve the problem. The mechanic had no idea. After unsucceful tries, I drove about 200 mies to get to Niagara fall. Finally I am 650 miles away from my home now. I don't think I can't drive another 650 miles.

What should I do ?

Thanks.

OK: I know what the problem is...
I got these code a few months back :misfire cylinder 4-2-5 and random misfires..
the cylinders are

back of car

123
456

front of car
and fire 1-4-2-5-3-6

I switched my coil pack for cylinder 4 and waloh fixed..
so the bad coil made that cylinder and the two after it misfire..

Im in NJ and have and etra coil pack i can sell you for $30
I bought 3 and only needed 1..

I had to got a brand new coil pack for cylinder 5.
That solves the problem clearly.

Thanks.

I had sudden failure of ignition coils on 2 and 5 at exactly the same time. At first, I was certain it was a bad tank of gas...
Usually I want OEM Honda parts, but since these failed I went aftermarket Airtex/Wells from Rockauto.

Strange for all of us to have it happen on 2 and 5....

In my experience when one of the spark boots was going to be bad, it caused random number of cylinder failure. There is no way to find which one is bad without a proper equipment. Otherwise you can buy after-market boots from ebay or somewhere and then replace all 6 boots. If you are sure that the problem is the same as I had before, I wouldn't mind to get after-market ones.

Additionally, my friend had the same care (2000 TL). He had a problem which shut the engine down randomly or couldn't get start. I thought that it was a problem caused by carbon sludges in the EGR valve or intake manifold. Thus, I and he cleaned them up. Right after the cleaning it looked like fixed but the same issue came back about a week later. Eventually we took the car to a dealer. It turned out the same cylinder boot problem.

There could be various symptoms because of the bad boots.

"spark boot", "cylinder boot"? Dude, are you baked? Say it with me: "ignition coil"

My guy read the codes: misfire on 2, misfire on 5. Then he swapped only those 2 ignition coils for some old working coils, the problem was gone. So I bought 6 new ignition coils and replaced them, and problem is gone. I suppose he had the "proper equipment," which was a code reader....?

Why did you resurrect a 4 year old thread? The problem was already solved.

Tosh

What does the age of a thread have to do with its relevancy to solving a peculiarly specific problem? One day you may be thanking me for this update.

I would have already known to start unplugging coil packs during the diagnosis. It's been brought up here before on other more recent threads.

Tosh

Obviously not everyone is as clever as you.
Show me an acceptably recent thread that has ignition coil failures on 2 and 5.
And exactly how recent must a thread be for somebody to add to it before you remark about it?

I'm just saying that the search function would yield similar problems and solutions to anyone with this problem.
True, there no hard answer on how old a thread can be before you can't bump it but this thread is 4 years old. Just takes some common sense to know not to respond to this thread. Plus you lose points for bumping old threads like this.

Tosh

Points?! I don't need no stinkin' points!
(interesting that you bring up those points actually, as I had assumed it was some kind of ricer circle jerk, so now I know how to lose them...)

The search function is shit.
My car is over 13 years old, and this forum is even older than that, so I'm going to post in whatever open threads that my own common sense tells me are most relevant.

I don't want to go off topic anymore.
But I do hope someone gets help from the information in this thread.
(minus all of this off-topic stuff)

You need coil packs? I have extra.
