I acutally have had a misfire on 2 for a while but I rarely get the CEL to kick on. Only under heavy clutch and not enough gas or having the A/C on occasionally will throw the CEL. I have scanned multiple times and get the same code everytime. It will reset itself and as long as I drive normally without a lead foot everything runs fine. Any ideas or advice anyone may have for me?
What is the code? If you are using G12 coolant then there should be a pink trail showing exactly where the leak is, any sign??
