It all started with the 'Check Engine Light (CEL)' coming on. So I researched a few things and also have done the following:

1. I heard what sounded like a vacuum leak. I replaced all the vaccuum lines. Still hear somewhat of a hissing, but not quite sure that its a vaccuum leak.

2. One of the pulleys (the one with the shock absorber) is vibrating alot. I intend to replace this and the serpentine belt. Not sure if the rough vibration is causing some of the engine warnings.

3. I took the car to Autozone for a code check. Was told that cylinder #2 was misfiring. Posible causes (vaccuum leak, ignition, etc).

4. Today I removed the DI Cassette. Looked nice and clean inside the chamber, the DI Cassette itself was clean. The nodule (stem) where cylinder #2 was more white around the end than the others. (((I discovered that the plastic around the stem on the DI Cassette for cylinder #4 was cracked along the side.))) Not sure if this is a major issue or could be the cause of some problems, CEL, etc? So this is one item that I need to know (should I replace the DI Cassette?)

Otherwise the engine runs very well for 130k miles. That vibration does make it hard to tell of any other problems because it is idiling a bit fast.

I took some photos of the DI Cassette and the crack which I can forward if anyone can say whether it is a major issue or not. Also is this common? I believe this is the original for the car.

FYI: This is a 96 9000 CS 4 cylinder.

Any insight is well appreciated.

Michael
