What's up everybody? Long time no lurk. I'm not sure if this belongs in this forum or even on this site. But I decided to come here first because I used to be established here and I'm sure some of you guys are driving a Mazda 6 now.
My problem is that I have a misfire with no code. The same thing was happening a few months ago but it threw a code p0305. I replaced the number 5 coil and it was fine for a few days. Then it started happening again. But it won't throw a code. I'm not sure if that means another coil has gone bad and it just hasn't misfired enough times in a second or whatever it needs to throw a code, or if it's something else. But it is definitely missing bad, pretty much constantly. I don't want to spend the money to replace all of the coils right now because I cannot afford it. Is there a way to isolate this problem or should I just buy one new coil and replace them all one at a time to see which one fixes the problem? Could something be causing the coils to go bad aside from age? Could the bad coil just be a coincidence, and I need to look elsewhere? I know this is all a bit ambiguous but it's all I have to go off of at this point.
Thanks in advance,
Richard
P.S.
I still have the Probe and it doesn't run. Again. Gotta figure out how to have fun. Again...
