Can a misfire feel like transmission issue?

Can a misfire feel like transmission issue?

One common cause for “jerky” performance that feels like a misfire is a problem in the transmission and its ability to properly shift up or down. If the misfire occurs during higher speeds, it could be a problem with the operation of the overdrive gear or a chattering clutch in the lockup torque converter.

Why is my Chevy Corvette running rough at idle?

Really, your Corvette will be running rougher at any RPM, but a misfire will be most pronounced at idle. Spark Plug Wires – While not every model and engine combination of vehicles today comes with spark plug wires (a lot are now coil on plug), if your Corvette happens to have them, they can go bad and cause a rough idle.

Why does my Corvette have a misfiring engine?

That’s because a misfiring engine can be caused by many mechanical problems. One way to detect a misfiring engine is by sensing the Corvette’s engine stumbling momentarily before regaining power. The engine can jerk or run rough as a result. This happens because the engine has skipped a process in the combustion cycle.

Can a damaged ignition coil cause a corvette to not start?

As such they are high voltage transformers. However, if your Corvette’s ignition coils are damaged, no spark will ignite the air/fuel mixture, and as a result, the engine will misfire or not start, especially when the Corvette is loaded. Damaged ignition coils can cause damage to the engine or catalytic converter as well.

What happens when you blow a spark plug on a corvette?

The explosion the spark plugs create moves the cylinder down, and the force produced is transferred to your Corvette’s wheels for motion. If spark plugs are blown, worn out or loose, your Corvette will misfire.
