cyl 2 misfire code wont go away

[jbmobbs]

I have a 5.2 v8 i just put all new plugs, wires, distributor cap, rotor button, magnetic pickup, coil, crank sensor,injector for cyl 2, and an ecu. And the damn code wont clear. I checked the valve springs and all good. I did a timing check with a light and i had to advance the light 15 degrees when it should be at 0. Idk what to do. Im out 1u month on tags and i want it fixed w/o the stealer ship any input please fellas

It randomly pops up all cylinder missfires

 

[jbmobbs]

Anybody lol im clueless here

 

[dodge dude94]

You done a compression check yet?

 

[jbmobbs]

Im fixing to at work

 

[dodge dude94]

Looking forward to the result.

#1 cyl was 115psi and cyl #2 &4 was 90psi......any idea

 

[dodge dude94]

Minimum compression is supposed to be 100psi, so obviously 90 is below that and the adjacent cylinders are not to have any more than 15% difference between them. What were the other cylinders?

 

[jbmobbs]

I only checked 3the ill do the others i n a few

 

[jbmobbs]

Any ideas what it may be tho?

 

[dodge dude94]

Low compression or the misfire? I'd say the misfire might be caused by the low compression. How'd the plugs look when you pulled them?

 

[jbmobbs]

Plugs looked great actually

 

[dodge dude94]

Well at least we know they're burning properly.

 

[jbmobbs]

Would intake gaskets cause this?

 

[dodge dude94]

Low compression? Nope, but burnt rings/valves would.

 

[jbmobbs]

I might just swap to a 5.9 engine lol

 

[dodge dude94]

A lightly worked over 360 would be fun.

 

[jbmobbs]

I found a 5.9 360 in ky im going to check out thursday maybe. Has 98k miles on it.

 

[dodge dude94]

Not bad. Would definitely be a good start. You should be glad you have a 96 because that means less work, though you might have to swap intakes between your old and new engines.

The only reason i figired i would have to swap is if it had an egr valve?
