    i need some tech help with a shitty chrysler

    I am trying to fix my girlfriends car. It is a 96 Chrysler Cirrus with a 2.5 6 cylinder. It is misfiring on cylinder #4. I have replaced the plug and wire on that cylinder as well as the distributor cap and rotor. The thing is still misfiring and the ECU is still reading out a cylinder 4 misfire code after I erased it. I noticed that there is a sparking sound coming from the cap randomly, don't know if that should normally be audible.

    The car doesn't seem to misfire every time, maybe every 2 or 3 rotations, and it doesn't seem to misfire in the higher rpms unless under load uphill.

    Please help me fix this POS thanks

            I can get some info for you tommorow from one of my buddies who works at a Chrysler dealership.
            I am in the same boat as you as far as fixing my Gfs car. However she owns a K car and we are in the process of turboing it since the carb died.

                she got the car for free last year. I hate working on this thing, removing the whole intake manifold just to change plugs sucks.
