joshrichard Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 So this isn’t my car but one of my friends, and he was driving to school this morning when the car started shaking and the engine light started flashing.... yeah. I’m guessing a misfire, maybe a clogged fuel injector (don’t know where tocheck on these and haven’t looked yet) i haven’t ran the codes yet because it happened 15 minutes before school and I had to run and pick them up. Any suggestions? places to start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinnwn Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I'd start with the easy stuff first. Replace the fuel filter which isn't fun. And then when mine did the same thing it ended up being the spark plugs. I didn't belive it because they were at only half their mileage. But I forgot and had used cheaper plugs. They were in bad shape. And be sure to pull the codes. Mine was misfire on various cylinders. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TowndawgR50 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Check for a code with a scanner or do the manual check with a CEL flash count before spending any money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshrichard Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 Code ran cylinder 5 misfire and after looking around, the ignition coil was done. ordered the part today and it comes in tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjonez Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 That was gonna be my guess. My sister's Volvo had 3 go out back to back in the space of a month. Every time it's the flashing CEL with a constant misfire. I keep a spare coil pack and a ratchet in the trunk now since I'm pretty sure mine are all original. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
