Guys what would be the symptoms of a non functioning cylinder?

Let's see, no spark, no fuel, burnt valve, warn out rings, hole in piston,, maybe some others but it's early.[&o]

Missing 1 cylinder will kill your performance not to mention the idle being rough. Haha, washed mine yesterday!

ya it feels like im running on 7 cylinders, car has no damn power.... my idle just goes up and down up and down when im at a light i feel retarded.... so im gonna have to start my car and take off my plugs to see whats going on with my cylinders later. before i wash it. its been raining here for a couple of days so i havnt had a chance to!!!

Yeah, it could be as simple as a plug missfiring or a wire. Did this just start happening?

i got into an accident a while back and when the mechanic put my engine back in it wasnt performing like a 5.0 should. i was thinking it was my o2's, my fuel pump, MAF the TPS the IAC my new exhaust. Cause i had him install New wires and a new cap as well, so i was thinking today that im doing nothing to check that whole cap and plugs install he did. how can i go about checking all that?

So it has been doing this since the accident? Did you take it back to him to have it rechecked?

ya its been doing this since the accident, and i really dont want to bring it back to him, cause i think he just doesnt give a **** i spent so much money on his account i dont even want to look at his garage when i pass by. so if i can do it myself then why not?

Make sure the plug wires are set for the correct firing order. If they are, then you need to determine is what cyl the problem is on.
