My guess, it will come on again soon if it detects another misfire. <br /><br />Basically, the car has to complete a full Drive Cycle, that's when all the sensors pass their tests and such while you're driving. Once this happens, if your computer detects another misfire, you'll get a code.<br /><br />It's hard to diagnose without seeing the code, if it happens again, tell the mechanic not to just pull the battery and clear it, but find out which cylinder as well, then work from there.<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />Nick Radonich <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
