So first i emptied the radiator cause i was running only water and it was getting really cold here so i wanted to add antifreeze... maybe a stupid idea but i did it anyway... after that was done i notice i had a really bad water leak so i figured out tht the water pump was going out so i replaced it last night... heres my problem... when i put the supercharger belt back on i guess i was off by one rib so it jumped off while i was parking at my apt. so i fixed the belt no big deal.. when i started the car after that it had a really bad miss and the check engine light was on... so i limped up to the autozone to get the codes checked... i got a cylinder 5 missfire and fuel injector failure code.. so i replaced the wire and plug in cylinder 5 ... when tht was done the problem seemed to be fxed but once i got home again which was about 1/4 mile away... when i restarted the car to leave the same problem was back again... SO NOW IM OUT OF IDEAS..any info would be greatly appreciated... sorry its so long but i didnt want to leave anything out...
 


I would check all the wiring to the coils and see if it was damaged when the belt jumped off. Also, check the post on the coil and see if it's clean.

ur belt coming off is NOT GOOD. may want to check ur timing. dont know if the belt came off but it can throw off you timing....
 
The supercharger belt comming off isnt going to mess with the timing.

You may have damaged a coil pack, or the ICM with the belt comming off. Check every single wire going into the ICM for damage, and make sure that the coil pack is good.

You can swap out 2 coil packs and see if the misfire follows, if it does, its the coil.
 
running normal and not distilled water isnt a wise choice(even running straight distilled isnt good). You have a number 5 injector code. Instead of replacing the plug wires and plugs id start at the injector and see if the plugs loose. swap the injector see if the mis moves.

And I lol'd about the blower belt and timing
 
wasnt paying attention to which belt der! Yea y change the plug and wire if the code is for an injector? check injector
 


Thanx for all the answers.. i took the car to the shop cause i dont have time to troubleshoot its my only means of transportation right now.. the mechanic told me that the injector was in fact bad getting it replaced now... they also found another coolant leak.. i think he said a coolant bypass or something...:th_sick2: THIS CAR HAS SOO MANY LEAKS! but this should be the last only ive fixed the rest... THANKS AGAIN...
