Question
Yeah the ignition coil got burned and we replaced it and replaced the plugs but it is not running right my husband checked the coils and the plugs but for some reason it says number 4 is still miss firing someone said it might be the dme. Could u please see if u can give your advise. Thank you
I don't think the DME is the problem.Check the ignition boots on the coil,there would be white burnt spots as it has burnt through the rubber.And you mentioned you checked the plugs,were they replaced or just a visual check.If there any kind of miles on them it would be time to replace them with new ones.
