I have a 1999 Plymouth breeze (4 cylinder 2.0L). The vehicle has a misfire on cylinder 3. I replaced plugs, wires, and distributer (or whatever that thing is the wires plug into in this type car
 ). The problem still happens. I then double checked that it was not a plug/wire by switching the cylinder 3 plug and wire with another cylinder. The problem stayed at cylinder 3. I then listened to see if the individual injectors were clicking (they are). I then used an ohm meter on the injectors, and they are all 12.5 ohms (including the one on cylinder 3). I believe this means it is either a clogged injector or a bad cylinder. I have reached the end of my expertise (which is almost 0). I hope this is a clogged injector, not bad cylinder, but with my limited tools i do not know how to tell. For example should I pull the fuel rail and actually swap injectors? I actually don`t know how to remove the fuel rail, to do so I need a diagram or explanation (I ordered a manual but it`s not here yet). Please help ! |

Moving the injector would be a good test - at least it could be ruled out cheaply. Hopefully someone can chime in with some expertise on your particular engine for the specifics of the fuel rail.
