Question: Recurring misfire on #2
Question
My check engine light comes on and the engine begins misfiring. Scan shows #2 misfire and something about Ign. coil B Primary/Secondary circuit. Replacing the plug always solves the problem. Except that it will happen again anywhere from one month to two minutes. This is getting verrrry tiresome. Suggestions?
I have already swapped coils to see if the problem moved with it. It didn't.

MasterHow does the plug look when the misfire reappears?

If the plug fails shortly after installation it has no appearances other than looking quite new.
Codes retreived are P0302 and P0352.Flag This -

You may want to have this checked by a shop that has experience with Dodger vehicles. Continuing to drive with a misfire will damage the catalytic converter, which can run $1000.00+
