Cylinder misfire

Asked by ksfannon Oct 30, 2018 at 02:21 PM about the 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have had a #3 cylinder inter-mitten misfire for months. I have changed the
IAIC module. The Ignition coil, PCV valve, Upper plenum gaskets, Spark
plugs and Spark plug wires. I have put in Fuel injector cleaner, replaced the
starter twice (constant stalling) each repair caused the car to run worse.
Now I have complete failure in both cylinder  2 & 3. Is this more likely a
compression issue, an injector issue or an injector gasket issue?

things need to be tested to determine the problem , are the injectors firing normal ? you could have bought a fuel pressure gauge , code scanner and other equipment instead of parts that didn't help , now you're back to square one , those things are junk anyways , good luck
