About this service

A misfire is one cylinder not contributing properly—ignition, fuel or compression, each with very different repairs. Driving with an active misfire can overheat the catalytic converter, so it is worth diagnosing promptly rather than waiting to see if it clears.

A flashing check-engine light
A noticeable loss of power or fuel economy
An exhaust smell or popping that is new

Common questions

Is a misfire always caused by a bad ignition coil?

No. Plugs, wiring, fuel delivery, air leaks and mechanical problems can produce similar behavior. Testing the affected cylinder or system helps distinguish a failed part from another condition.

Should I keep driving with a flashing check-engine light?

A flashing light with rough running can indicate a misfire that may damage the catalytic converter. Stop safely and contact the shop or roadside assistance before continuing instead of waiting for routine maintenance.
