1998 E430 Engine Misfires Going OUT OF CONTROL!
This car is driving me nuts.......First of all the car has an occasional engine miss. Sometimes is worse than others, when it is bad it is pretty bad. I put my scanner on it and I got engine misfires cylinder 1, 2, and 3 and random misfire. I also had a IAT sensor code.....not sure what that is. Ok here is the kicker. I changed all plugs and only the wires on the cylinders that had the misfire codes trying to save alittle cash. I did this and went and drove the car, the car does fine until I really give it alot of throttle, then it really bogs down and the check engine light comes back on and it runs bad again. I put the tester on the car and it still has the same codes it had before I replaced the plugs and wires, but now also has cylinder 5 misfire. I erased the codes and tried it again. Car did fine until I put it under a heavy load, same thing happened bogged down running awful and CEL appeared. Put the tester back on it, had all the same codes cylinder 1,2,3,5 and multi misfire and IAT. I now changed the coils on the original three bad cylinders 1-2-3 went and drove the car and the same thing happened again but now I got all the same misfires 1-2-3-5 and multi but now I got cylinder 8 added. I don't know what is going on with this car could something else be causing this? I would understand if I got different codes each time I suppose but not for cylinders 1,2 or 3. I have changed the plugs, wires and coils on all three of those cylinders and still get a misfire code for each one. I am at the end of my knowledge with this problem all help is appreciated.
