The term misfire describes any combustion event that doesn't burn the fuel and air mixture completely. As the flame expands across the bore, a reaction zone is created. In this region, the heat from the burned mixture travels into the cooler unburned charge and aids combustion. If the ignition isn't strong enough for this to occur, the engine will only burn a small amount of the fuel in the cylinder. The rest will exit the tailpipe as unburned hydrocarbons, wasting gasoline and not producing any power. View Related Article
