1990 Cadillac Fleetwood misfire

Hi kdoxey, I also have a 1990 Cadillac Fleetwood 4.5 L port fuel injection. I also have a misfire. Here's what I can tell you.

It's possible that you have to high of fuel pressure which caused one of the injectors to fail. When an injector fails, it may inject too much fuel or too little, ending up with a rough run. It can be a single injector effecting a single cylinder. Or it could be all of them, I doubt it though.

I am about to do the work to my car, that being: take out one injector causing a misfire in a single cylinder, and replace it with a new one, then change the seals and o-ring.

I will then do routine maintenance on the spark plugs and wires. I already have replaced the Distributer and all of its components which have no solved the misfire.

So all in all, I will be replacing an injector, seals, and wires and spark plugs.

My suggestion for you is pull so codes, and post them for me, and I'll try and help you further.

I will also let you know how the vehicle runs after I finish the work. Hope this gives you an idea of what direction to go in.

No, forget that theory.

Start out taking a compression test and testing injector pulse on that cylinder using a noid light.

Alright, I already did that, I took a flat head screw driver and stuck one end In my ear and the other on each injector, I found one that does not have any sound, like a clicking sound. And with the probe light, it doesn't light up.

The only thing I don't have acces to is a compression test.

You need to get a compression tester and a noid light. Don't stick that test light around the injector wires unless you want to risk buying a computer.

Alright. I read somewhere else that a guy bought a new computer for cheap and completely fixed the misfire. Could it just be a bad sensor or connection?

This isn't even your question. You need to start a question of your own.

youll need to have your engine put on a scope and see if same cylinder as the bad as the injecter.
