PLEASE, where is the "ignition signal primary circuit"?
i'm getting code 0201 w/ the above explanation from my haynes manual as being at fault. i can not locate what i assume to be a wire from the schematic. is it even a wire or could it be inside the ECM? my car is missing cylinder(s) at idle and jerking under acceleration. whoaaa is me, just went through dirty injectors and a coil pack problem, now this.
thanks for any info.

um..... he was throwing out an opinion, and honestly, a valid one. There is no need to belittle him mr 58 posts. IS your trans fluid good? if it is, oh well, no harm done, if it isnt, could be the cause.

ever changed the spark plugs? Pretty much its saying check anything ignition related... Coils, injectors, plugs i would try that first. Then look at the camshaft sensor, crank shaft sensor(s). I highly doubt the sensors are bad because they are magnetic but it happens. Unplug each coil at a time with the engine running... See which one has no effect on the engine. That could be your issue i would suggest you change your plugs and fuel filter if you havnt lately.

Also, you said you changed coils....unplug them and make sure you didn't bend any pins of the connectors. I accidentally bent one when I redid my coils, and it took me a while to figure out what it was.

Did you try unplugging the coils one at a time and see if there is one that did not make the misfire worse?
Is DTC 0201 the only code you are getting?

[2] no, just unplugged all for spraying all the connectors w/ electrical contact cleaner.
[3] only code 0201, which from the sticky is puzzling.

now, when i unplug each coil, i know my engine will become uniformly shakey. so what i shoud be trying to detect is wheather or not the behavior i listed in my thread has gone away? when/if this happens, i'm closer to a resolution. does this seem logical?
