Then I started the car up and noticed a misfire for the next 2 start ups (while at idle), I then gave it some gas (rolling on 1st gear) and it started working normally for the rest of the day, cruising it and turning it on and off.. What could have caused the misfiring from normal driving? and should I be worried? any opinions or suggestions? <br /><br />Thank you.<br /> <br /> <small>[ 2014-03-19, 12:09 AM: Message edited by: SL0BRA650 ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>wilber650</b> <br /><small>Member # 10360</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2014,2,19,0,30,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Is your tune up to date <br />Clean Maf , clean throttle body, good fuel filter <br />Check for any codes<br />If u can get your hands on food scanner do a cylinder balance test it will show which is missfiring <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>SL0BRA650</b> <br /><small>Member # 10274</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2014,2,19,0,37,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by wilber650:<br /><strong> Is your tune up to date <br />Clean Maf , clean throttle body, good fuel filter <br />Check for any codes<br />If u can get your hands on food scanner do a cylinder balance test it will show which is missfiring </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I started it up and drove it around the block yesterday and its driving and acting normally. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="confused.gif" /> the only time it was misfiring was on that day for 2 start ups, I gave it little gas, then it started working normally for the rest of the cruise. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>LockNLoad</b> <br /><small>Member # 12949</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2014,2,19,7,57,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Check for loose coil pack or wires...
