I have a 1996 Honda Accord 2.2 Vtec. The car started misfiring the other day so I checked the cod and it was for a cylinder 2 misfire. I swapped out the plugs and wires, but the problem persisted. I then swapped out the cap and rotor, and it didn't help at all. It only misses under 3k RPMs. Above that, it seems fine. I though it was a spark related issue for sure, but now my only other guess would be a bad injector. But would a bad injector only cause issues under 3k RPMs? I did read that EGR issues sometimes cause a misc misfire code, and I have had an EGR code on for a while but havent gotten around to fixing it. I don't remember the code #, but it said something about exhaust gas recirculation. So, I'm stumped with this misfire thing. Anyone have any ideas (besides an injector)? Thanks

 

The misfire may be due to the clogged EGR ports, clean that first and see if it resolves it.

In the DIY "sticky" above in this forum, is a link on how to clean the ports.

 

Thanks, I cleaned the EGR ports and that did the trick.

Unfortunately, now I've got fuel leaking from the fuel rail. It didnt leak during 2 days worth of driving, yet started doing it today.

I'll pop the fuel rail off and try re-seating it on the injectors.

 

New O-rings for the injectors? Normally you can't re-use them because they get hardened from age & heat.
