Getting hot...like not firing? Your grammar is horrible. I can't understand your question.

and you guys thought my grammar was bad


i got no idea what you mean..... not getting HOT like the others......
does that cylinder not have good compression? or not firing? like no gas getting injected into the cylinder or no spark....

we cannt help if you dont let us know what the problem is....

Dude, seriously.....

None of us care if this is your first time to the forum. Proper grammar and spelling is KEY to getting your point across to the rest of us. We cannot help if we do not understand the problem!

You mentioned the mechanic told you this was an issue...did he not bother to explain what it means? WTF is a heat gun? A laser thermometer?

I for one think your mechanic is an idiot. Maybe that side of the valve cover wasnt heating up as quickly as the other side. Dude. My god...I dont know! Please try to explain in more detail. And for f*** sakes, slow down and use proper grammar! Proof read your post before you hit "ok." Hell, have a friend proof read it for you. We need more info!

None of us think you're stupid....grammar and spelling aside.

I think you need to simmer down a bit, think about what you are typing, and try your very damn best to give us all information so we can come to a conclusion and help you further.

If one cylinder isn't working, then the cylinder (1) isn't getting either spark from the plug and/or fuel from the injector or (2) has low compression.

The first types of problems are typically easy to evaluate and solve. The second type of problem requires much more work to diagnose and fix.

Ask your mechanic which type of problem your engine is having.

In addition, if you are handy, you might be able to perform some tests that would help diagnose the problem.
