Message:
I'm having a BIG headache with my 96 Dak. Idles rough, when accelerating it spits, sputters, and backfires through intake especially on hills. I changed MAP, coil, wires, plugs, cap, button, pickup, and idle speed sensor. anyone have any ideas besides putting bullet between the heads
thanks

It's saying code 43 twice I had it put on a computer at a friend of mine it said misfire #5 cyl. and random multiple misfire I unhooked the o2's one at a time to see if it would change the motor pitch the 1st one changed some but the 2nd one didn't change at all but i'm not getting an o2 code when it 1st occured it was about 20degrees
I didn't have time to warm it up I thought it might have jumped a tooth on the time what do think thanks

well it isn't the ring in the distributer it is good and tight the shaft has a liitle play in it but not enough to hurt it . When idling it almost sounds like it has an over sized cam. After running a while it smells like it is burning to rich.

43 Fault in ignition coil control circuit.
Crank sensor
check the conections first its located behind the
pass side head down by the bell housing 2 1/2
allen head or reg bolts to remove
yes upstream o2 controlls air fuel in closed loop
downstream just tells the comp that the converter
is working
Who told you 43 was #5 cyl is wrong

to burn off right at the ends and will give you

Is there any way to check the cat. I took the front O2 sensor out to try and relieve some pressure it seemed like it idles better but I can't tell since the O2 effects the computer and fuel input

could my transmission be causing my engine to misfire? I cleaned the air solinoid with carb cleaner it had some gunk in it now it is working .
the engine seems to be doing alot better as long as I don't drive it . Idles fine and revving doesn't bother it but when I drive it I get code 43 I had the sync checked it was only off 3 degrees. what do you think

Mine just started doing the same thing. It is also a 96 with a 3.9l Auto Zone hooked up a scanner and got codes for cyclinder #5 misfire and random misfire. MIL code I get is 43. Have put in new plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and even replaced fuel injector seals (didn't do that when I replaced the heads so just wanted to get it out of the way, old ones were very hard). Will check crank position sensor, TSP sensor, and will clean throttle body tonight. Will also check distributor pick up and sync. Anything else I could be missing? Help!

Try this as it seems to be working with my truck.. Put in some dry gas. I have done this tonight to mine and its running with only a slight skip (still think I have a bad fuel injector, move the one from #5 cyclinder to #1 when I was changing oil rings last night and the misfire moved cyclinders).
