I bought this and had a mechanic put it in for me. When I got my car back I started pulling misfire codes on almost every cylinder? Any ideas?

Yes; There is a tiny o-ring that must be placed on the plastic piece that snaps into the top of the intake manifold. If it is not installed, it will cause the exact problem you are talking about. I learned after installing the manifold, then had to remove it and place the o-ring on, bolted it back on, problem solved.

We ran into that same problem of a misfire after we installed the replacement Dorman intake manifold on my friends 2002 F-250 . We found there was a small amount of coolant that ended up around several spark plugs down in the heads during the process. We used compressed air along with some brake cleaner we had on hand to fix the problem . We separated the spark plug wire boots from the plugs one by one then with proper eye protection sprayed the cleaner on them both and then shop air to dry them out. We then added dielectric grease to each boot before they were reinstalled and the test drive after confirmed our problem was solved. Hope this works for situation.

I installed intake in July 2013 had no problems like you have described until, January 2, 2014 now I am trying to find the answer to the same problem .I am almost sure I have a vacuum leak or maybe leaks around intake because when engine gets warm it misfires worse..
336703
make sure all the connections are fully pushed in (click) on your coil packs...then reset the computer. ...if that doesn't work then put new plugs in and check the injector rings may have gotten cracked when reinstalling them

I'm just a shade tree mechanic...if that. It definitely sounds like he hooked something up wrong. I did it myself and the only issue I had was with the screws that hold the fuel rails (1 snapped off at the head). Sorry I couldn't help.
336705
Not really. Maybe check and make sure they didn't mix up a couple wires that go to your coils. Or if your coils are around 50 to 100k miles old ten they may be going bad

id check the vacuum lines . i mixed up the one one for the EGR valve when i reassembled mine and had a miss-fire . they are color coded and it was a simple fix
336707
Has to be something the mechanic did, I would take it back to him, he might have crossed a coil write out something.
336708
My first guess would be to ensure there is no oil or coolant around the spark plugs, boots and wires. Verify he did not cross some of the spark plug wires. Spark plug coils could be failing.

I bought this part for my RX 300 year 2000, and it doesn't work. I don't know if the part is bad or what, but it did not fix the problem. I'd love to return it, but I used it for almost a month hoping it would fix the air flow sensor problem. Now, I'm stuck with the bad part and a car that still does not have the engine light off. I will not ever order a part online from Amazon again. It was a costly mistake. There really is not way to get money back and not way to ensure that the part even was a good working part when delivered. I thought it would be an easy fix; instead, it was a costly mistake.

I'm not completely sure, as I'm no mechanic, but it sounds like a new ignition switch could cure this problem. I replaced this switch to try and solve GM's anti-theft problem. Maybe someone else would know more, but have you tried dry silicon on your current switch? I've used it on sticky house locks but don't know if it would affect the anti-theft sensor in the ignition switch. Wish I could be more help. Just remember. You'll end up with 2 keys if you buy this and don't have doors and trunk re-keyed (no big deal for me).

I haven't had any problems with mine. Mine was installed in August 2013. So far, so good. I bought it because it was by FAR, the best price out there. Everything else for a Bosch pump assembly was nearly double, and I didn't want to mess with any other brand than Bosch, because pulling a fuel tank is nothing you want to have to do twice if you can help it.I have a 2000 Grand Cherokee with V8 and it fits. If you have any questions, you could always check your dealer to make sure you have the correct part number, but a 1999 was in the same generation of Grand Cherokee. Not sure if I6's and V8's used the same pump, but it would work in a V8 for sure. I haven't had any problems with mine. Mine was installed in August 2013. So far, so good.

You need to push down and turn. Also make sure the red tag is removed. It sticks out of the engine part just pull and it should work

I wouldn't assume this to be the answer. Could be your distributor, wires, your fuses, your O2 sensors...this rig is notorious sometimes. I did use this injector though, and more efficient fuel delivery is noticeable, especially at lower RPM's. If your injectors are shot; I'd replace them with this; but don't expect it to fix all of your issues at once. Good luck!

That's why it is a piece of crap. You have to keep one hand on the gas trigger and maintain some throttle pressure to keep the thing from shutting down. Depending on how long you have been using it, you may need to put a new spark plug in and/or clean it.

Hi James.I'm using a fuel with 20% nitro and 10% oil, that has worked for me for this car.Important; You need to tune the engine, because if you run the car at full speed immediately out of the box, you can damage the motor.Regards

Honestly, I would take it to a shop. It sounds like your transmission is fried. I bought this part because it was damaged and would not go into 4wd. All the internals were chewed up. If yours won't go into 3rd or 4th gear, sounds like the trans. I had a similar issue a few years ago and the shop changed all the fluid in the transmission, this stopped the shifting problems but wouldn't effect the 4wd. That part isn't easy to replace unless you know how to remove the front right cv axel without breaking it. I had a little help.

OP, did you ever find the answer to your question? I also have a 2003 camry v6 and got the same P2241 CEL code.

On my Volkswagen Jetta there were two sensors. One just after the catty and one on the exhaust manifold. the one with the long cable goes on the manifold. By the way, I recomend replacing the upstream first and see if this does the trick. Also get one of those cheap ODB blue tooth code readers and the free android or windows app called TORX. Understand and monitor the codes as you drive. One bad code is okay but two is not. I actually cleaned the caty by removing it and dumping acetone through it. Probably wont pass again and it was a lot of work.

if you have a check engine light on you can use a code reader to see which cylinder is misfiring. then erase the code and switch the coil with the one beside it, when the code comes back if it is misfiring on a different cylinder then its the coil.

yes is happening to my car! I installed one last summer and the engine accelerates some times when it's warm , last for about 10 to 15 minutes before comes back to normal .

Sounds like a bad ignition lock cylinder, i would buy a new one from dealer. The one i bought from amazon was no good stick with original equipment. Hope this helps you.

Wish I could help but have no clue. It sounds "electrical", possibly a loose wire or a short. Do you know someone (like a teenager) who has some technical skills and a few test devices? You could call a B&D service center and see if they would do anything despite the warranty time limit or just to get an idea of the cost of repairs. As a last resort, take the motor housing apart (carefully and with your procedural memory engaged) and check for clues (wires, connections, burn marks, fuse). Hopefully you will find something (and be able to reverse the taking-apart procedure). If not, well, it could be a lost cause. At least, if it were me, it would be. Let us know how it turns out.
