Don't ya just hate random misfire?

Post by douglas vincent »

I tend to get random misfire, but it is either their, or it isnt, depending upon start up. So if I start the wagon up and get misfire, sometimes I can turn it off, restart and the misfire is gone.

I am about 99% sure its just my plug connection, but damn I don't know 100%, cause when I turn the wagon off, play with the plug wires, it goes away. But it also goes away when I turn the wagon off, and then restart.

And on boost, misfire is a serious bucking!
