After a long drive of perhaps 2 hours today, I briefly parked my SC, perhaps 1o minutes. I then drove again to a local store, visiting for perhaps half an hour. Upon starting it after leaving the store, I heard what sounded like a constant miss.
We removed wires to test cylinders, and then proceeded to run a balance test. On what should have been the 4th test (cylinder?), there was no drop in RPMS when the EEC attempted to shut fuel and spark to the cylinder.
What order does the EEC run the balance test, 1 through 6?
I assume this is either a dead 3rd or 4th cylinder, depending on testing order. DIS? Coil pack? What could be behind the cause of this sudden problem?
Also, most importantly, I have no options for transportation, and the vehicle must be driven, in the morning. Could I be risking further damage?
Thank you for your time;
