hsracing Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 I have a 96 Legecy 2.2 with about 97K. It starts fine and runs fine for about a minute or so or until it reaches operating temp. Then it start to miss and does so for about a minute then clears up. I have change the plugs and wires. I have checked the injectores for pressure and pulse they are fine. I have replaced the knock sensor no help. I put a different computer in it and that made no difference. The only code that comes up is misfire on cylinder one or cylinder two, usually on number two. I also checked to see if a valve quide was loose as I heard that sometimes happens on this year. If it would not clear up maybe I could figure it out. Has anyone had this problem or have any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Hi hsracing and welcome! How about the ignitor or possibly coil pack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fnlyfnd Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 I would say its the coil. Did you use oem plug wires? (new is new, but you should stick with oe wires) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsracing Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 Hi hsracing and welcome! How about the ignitor or possibly coil pack? Don't know how to check the coil pack when it so intermittent. What is the ignitor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcupine73 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 The ignitor takes the signal from the ECU and drives the coil pack. I have a '96 legacy also; on mine the ignitor is a little maybe 2.5x2.5" or so electronic package with a connector on it located near the firewall kind of inline with the throttle cable. Maybe even shaking these connectors or something would reveal if there is an intermittent connection in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
