Kodybarbera Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 hey guys, just got back from a week vacation in OBX and my car sat at home all week. today I got back and went to my friends. I came to a stop sign and it was sputtering bad. I gave it gas and it went fine then my CEL started to blink so I pulled into an access road and checked my oil, it was fine. pulled the codes, pending misfire on cylinders 2 and 4. started the car up and started driving then got CEL and blinking cruise for the misfire codes. I cleared them out and the car ran fine. idles fine and everything. I'm just going to assume the car got funky from sitting for a whole week (never usually goes longer than 2 days sitting) but I would like to get some other opinions from you guys. thanks!

05subileggygt Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Missfire. Bad injectors. Plugs wire etc. low compression. Or a bad injector seal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodybarbera Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 I was thinking maybe like some moisture or the gas got weird. hmm. we'll see if the problem persists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
