Default MISFIRES!!! WHY ME??? Getting a really bad misfire on WOT....(please help)
This is never-ending. I replaced all ignition coils and all plugs (platinum NGK's), and everything was fine for a week. Then started to get really bad misfires w/out getting ANY codes!!!!???? These are crippling mf's... going on about 80K now, compression test time? replace coils and plugs again? Can't get codes so don't know which cylinder it is! Any help would really be appreciated.
