Hi there! I have an 2001 Toyota Echo not firing on a cylinder check engine light on. So I scanned it found p0303 code cyl #3 misfire. I swaped coils with #2 cyl. And the code jumped to #2 misfire. I obviously assumed that I had a bad coil. I replaced the coil with a new one (same part# ) it runs smooth now but only for 10 seconds and the whole car shuts off. I put the old coil back in and it runs but it still misses. Checked resistance on new coil and one of the other coils was different so I bought all new coils and it does the same thing runs nice and smooth but for only like 10 sec. So I started from begining checked for spark on bad cylinder no spark but I am getting injector pulse and 12V and 5V signal from ECM. Put new coil back in checked for spark. Now I have spark installed plug and new coil runs smooth for 10 sec and shuts off. I cleared codes disconnected battery thinking of way to maybe reset the ECM. I know that its just a coil but not sure why it now just cuts out.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Jason

Hello,
I was just curious if you ever found a solution to this problem.
I too am experiencing the EXACT same thing as you with my 2001 Echo and am at wits ends, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much.

Try to disconnect the battery and connect the positive and negative together for 10 sec and then reconnect the pole of battery
