DEAD CYLINDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i was just wondering if anyone on the forum has had to bring in there civic for a dead cylinder yet?
the reason im asking i just found out that my 01 sedan has a dead cylinder and the honda dealership
still has it and they cant find out what is going on with it . they have replaced the coil pack, spark plug
and cleaned the injector and still not running right . now they are going to move the injector to another
cylinder and see if the problem moves to another cylinder thanks for any info on this thanks

just part of the family

if they can't figure it out yet they're f'in stupid!

even my little 8 year old brother knows all you need is gas/air mix, compression and a spark... figure out whats missing and work from there

idiots
