All codes are [sporadic]. I've STFA, and someone has suggested wheelspin can cause this. It makes more sense to have added bad gas, for example. Well, I can say yesterday I tried the car's behavior when cornering, so I did have wheelspin, most under 2nd gear when pushing during the curves.
Also on my way back home, I had to stop for gas at a unfamiliar station and filled the tank. I checked codes after I got home, so don't know if the misfires are a result of wheelspin, bad gas, both or something other.
I never had these codes before.
Your comments are most appreciated.

chasing a sporadic dtc that only showed up once.
When it keeps coming back, then look for specifics. Also, don't clear them. Everytime you clear a dtc, it resets all the learning curves in the ECU. If you let it go, sometimes one DTC that'll have you guessing will be accompanied by another DTC that will clearly spell out the problem. Such as misfires, and then 3 days later you get an ECT out of range DTC. See?
Have a great day!
