Reading Code > Misfire

What are the causes of misfires and what can they do to the car as far as performance goes?

 

[SaleenGT2001]

it means that there is no spark in one or more cylinders. it is not good for the car. it can wash the rings out if there is too much fuel.


what other codes, if any did it throw?

 

[player4lifeov]

[player4lifeov]

random misfire to be specific

I had a missfire starting at 4100 and it was the coils. Dont buy granetelli motorsports coils.

 

[player4lifeov]

maybe a fuel injector is loose... maybe a plug wire is loose or ... maybe you have dirty injectors, etc...
