ok well im a complete idiot when it came to this but i was jump starting my car and i took the positive jumper wire off and then re attached it and it arc'd and blew a relay and like 6 other fuses.. now i have a check engine light on and im not getting anything to my number 2 and 3 cylinders... tried new plugs and wires.. not the deal.. so im thinking its either the ignighter or the coil pack.. or i might of fried the ECU but idk.. What should i do?!?!?!
 
I would suggest pulling the trouble codes. Replace all the blown relays/fuses, then troubleshoot further from there. Cyl's 2 and 3 run off the same coil, thats a clue.
 
my car is having the same problem...it started right before my car went into the shop to get built. it would hit fuel cut at 4k rpm set on 9psi. i thought it was the blow by so when it got out i thought it would be okay but now cylinders 2 and 3 arent firing and i have no idea what is happening with it.
it ran fine for a few days right out of the shop but then it started sputtering and not it has no power and cylinder 2 and 3 wont fire...please help someone.
 
You have a bad coilpack if Cylinders 2 and 3 aren't firing. 2 & 3 fire from the same coil and 1 & 4 fire from a different coil. Replace the coilpack and problem should be solved.
 
x3 on the coil pack. you can check to see if you have fire from the wire. If not then check for power and ground to the 2/3 coil pack. If you have them then you know where the problem is.
