Check engine light
Mine came on yesterday. Plugged the SCT in and code says Random misfire detected. anyone had this yet?
31,000 miles on the car, Is it time for a tune up? new plugs etc? I do not know a lot about engines, but can change plugs if thats all i need to do. What else could it be? any input will be appreciated. Thanks |

with headers and catted X, cant really put it back to stock. and not sure what one is misfiring, it just said random misfire detected. Guess i will change all of them and go from there. Thanks

Have you recently changed your clutch?
|
Sometimes, I wish the car had a Clutch...
|
Have you changed the converter recently?
|
Weird. I went to downshift mine today from 3rd to 2nd and my car hiccuped and flashed the check engine light just for a sec. Back to normal after that.

Last night, I loaded a different tune from different company, drove to and from work today with no issues yet, but is still idling a little rough. |
Clear the KAM and do an idle relearn and you'll probably be good
|
I will try that when I get back in town.. One thing I did notice before I left, It looked like one of the hoses going to the Moroso air/oil separator was collapsed in one spot.
I am definitely going to get better hose to change that out, but could this be what caused the random misfire code? |
Not sure about that but IF you had changed your clutch or converter you should do a misfire profile correction procedure at the dealer.
|
Loose crank position sensor maybe?

Mine got a steady Check Engine Light two days after the engine was replaced. It came back with random misfire codes for various cylinders. The dealer tech had to do a 'crankshaft position relearn' process and that cured it.
PS - I don't like your 'idling rough' comment because that was the first symptom of my piston letting go. After about five miles of rough idling, the CEL came on steady, then the next morning it began flashing. The piston on cylinder 8 had cracked the top ring land. Hope yours is something else. |
