Isuzu Repair: ignition problems, living in italy, electrical problem


Question
QUESTION: i am living in italy so its hard to get maintenace done here but i had a coil changed along with a tun e-up and the mechanic found that i am only running 4 cylinders out of 6. my 2 and 5 cylinders arent working. now the ignition coil is brand new, and they swapped them around and its always 2 and 5 thats bad. any ideas on what would cause this he thinks it is an electrical problem only, but because the car is a 1995 they dont have the computer equipment to properly test here..any ideas

ANSWER: well if two of the 6 coils are bad then yes I would speculate that you have some bad wiring Justin. ARe the coils not getting voltage at all no spark?

QUESTION: there is a spark but its very small on the 2 and 5 cylinders the other 4 work just fine. could it be the control module???

Answer
Well it could be a faulty ecm(small chance) bad ignition module, open circuit in the system somewhere. or even a faulty C.P.S. The best way to have this checked is to take it to a dealer with good equipment to see whats getting voltage and whats not. Or a good DVOM could work with some time and a few heads put together:)
