Did you change the spark plug wires and coils? That is usually the main cause of a miss in a cylinder.

SOURCE: misfire code, rough idle, full tune up complete,

The black soot on the plugs means that you are running extremely rich. The fuel injectors ma test good electricly, but they are notorious for leaks. The spider-looking thing sandwiched between the plastic intake plenum and the intake manifold gets cracks in it's "legs" and leaks fuel ito the plenum area. The fuel pressure regulator is also housed in this same assembly. if the diaphram in the regulator gets a pinhole in it, it also leaks fuel into the plenum area, causing all kinds of erratic idleing, black smoke from the exhaust, and will cause your fuel trims to drop into the negative 20s.

There is a technical service bulletin covering this subject. This procedure outlines the steps required to replace the existing Central SFI Fuel System with a new MFI (Multiport Flexible Injection) Fuel System.

It is removing the injectors which are all housed in the center body of the injector assembly and replacing them with a new version where the injectors are located where the ols "poppets" used to be in the intake manifold ports. The picture below is for a V-8 engine that is covered by the same TSB.052d4ba.gif
The poppets and the pressure regulator are available individually to fix your existing fuel injection system, but I gave up on that after replacing several poppets only to have them come back in a few months with another popet line broken. I recommend replacing the whole assembly with the new and improved version. My customers have told me after doing this that the engine never ran that smooth when it was new.

The GM part number for the new injector assembly for your V-6 engine is 12568332 it is also now available at several aftermarket parts outlets.

As for the timing chain solution posted by doodieman200, all I have to say is that I have enough fingers on one hand to count all of the failed timing chains I have replaced on these engines. If you don't have a cam/crank sync code, the timing chain has definitely not slipped a tooth.

Testimonial: "thank for tech update. due to working in a fleet bus shop i no longer get regular tech bulletins"

SOURCE: 2004 Kia Optima no start after timing belt, crank, cam sensor replacement

did you use aftermarket crank sensor? if so that might be your problem. dealer has several different ones, by providing vin number, but there is only one after market for all optimas 01-05. try to connect thick pink wire and thick orange wire together on the ignition failure sensor. you might have the same problem as me. good luck.

What causes random misfire on 2000 cadillac diville

it may need a tune-up if you haven`t had one in a long time, could be a dirty fuel injection system,(have a injector service done), I`ve seen an intermitant vacuum leak cause this, poor fuel quality, even a problem with the computer. a crank or cam sensor problem can cause a random misfire.

I have a 1996 chevy k1500 pickup that is running bad. I did a complete tune up, no change. The check engine light came on scanner showed O2 sensor, random misfire and Crank position sensor issue. The cats...

These models have a tendency to leak water at the back of intake, which means you have to remove the distributor to change the gaskets. Do you know if someone has done this? If so, have you checked the timing. It must be set by a tester or computer on these models. You cannot use a timing light. If cam retard is off, slightly loosen distributor. The engine must be running while adjusting timing. You have to bring engine above a 1000 rpm's before adjusting distributor. They set cam retard at 0 + or - 2 degrees. recheck after tightening distributor.

I have a 98 chevy z71 5.7 350 vortec, i have a p1345 code that stays on i clear it and as i restart the truck it comes back on, the truck runs great and has a small delay when starrted.. what can/do i need...

1345 is cam and crank sensor correlation its mainly the cam sensor going out, also the delay start that also trigger a camsensor code they call it excessive crank time check the fuel pressure that is capable of setting a cam code (1345) If fuel pressure is good (55-60 psi) expect to replace the camsensor you might as well do the crank sensor heres a nightmare on this code it can set if the distributor is off one tooth and yes these distributor have high failure rate

2002 4.3 vortex chevy got a rough idle but smooths out at 1500 rpm and has a miss fire code changed intake gasket

I would replace the spark plugs and plug wires. It sounds like you have a bad plug wire but replacing all of the plug wires and all the plugs should resolve your issue.

yes an o2 sensor can cause the mixture to go lean or rich. But you have another culprit also a knock sensor can cause this also. for the miss this is more of what the knock sensor would control. Hope this helps you
