CC: When an engine is designed, each cylinder is perfect. Each is an exact copy of its neighbor. The components within the engine are designed to be equal as well – injectors, spark plugs and ignition coils are engineered to function the same, regardless of which cylinder they serve. With all the cylinders the same, the engine is balanced. Of course, this also means that all the coils are subjected to equal heat and vibration under the vehicle’s hood.

Fuel trims, misfire counters and grams per second can confuse and lead you down a diagnostic rabbit hole if you do not understand what is going on inside the combustion chamber when the air and fuel are burned. Understanding what comes out through the exhaust valve is critical to solving any emissions or driveability problem.
