Thread: No power. coil?

Okay. So my truck had a misfire 2 times in 3 months. Had to get on it. Had it to the floor and it shifted out of overdrive and slowly went to 3,000 rpm and stayed. No kick ( such as power ) is it bad ignition coils?

Is it throwing a code?

there's no cel but a pending code might be there. Autozone's reader isn't anything fancy so it can't read pending codes sadly..

Members on the other forum are saying anything but coils.... Stuck egr valve. Plugged cats...

Hard to diagnose when I can't hear it or drive it and no codes lol. Could be 100 things ya know

Then u should have it fixed in no time lol

That would surprise me as to your question. I am old school. Pull plugs and see what they look like. Then I want to see fuel flowing. After that I'd look at the distributor. If I don't find it in an hour, it is time to see my mechanic. Let him hook it up and figure it out.

Anyhow, I don't see a coil causing that. Fuel pump could, distributor could, timing chain jump...and on it goes.
