97 Saturn SL2 - How to fix a Cylinder 2 Misfire?

RussiaWolf · 10-09-2009, 05:29 PM

Hi, I have a 1997 Saturn SL2 with about 170,000 miles. My "Service Engine Soon" light comes on and stays on for a couple of days and then goes off for a couple more days. I only drive the car to and from work (about 10 miles each way). I stopped by the local Auto Zone and they read the error code and told me that it was a "cylinder 2 misfire."

I replaced the existing spark plugs with NGK sparkplugs and also replaced the spark plug wires, but it's still happening.

Does anyone have any idea of what I should try next?

Do you notice the misfire, or just the light?

No, I do not notice the misfire...just the light.

Sometimes its hard to notice. Try cleaning the contacts/mountings on your ignition coil. I think there is something in the how-to library to help.
