things to prevent it from happening?
dealer called and thats the cause of my misfires.

ralliartist

how many miles on your car?

roboticfister

Lots of things can cause it... low grade fuel, improper fuel air mix, and bad tune all come to mind. Maybe a driver mod?

ralliartist

seems weird, mine are still perfectly fine.

36-38k for 1 year i used regular, got tuned by psychostevo for a few months
switched to 91 didnt like the way it ran switched to shauns tune.
and i do drive the car hard. driver mod prolly happend climin uphill in 90degree weather. dumb me didnt take time check the oil. but the thing is
the car had surge like all 07 in the begining.

ralliartist

that sucks, sounds like the tune then. Maybe if you would have had a better tune, none of that would have happened.

how does a tune affect just #2cyl though.

qwikredline

running low on oil does bad things throughout the motor. what oil were you using?

ralliartist

you didn't say it was just one cyl. And qwik is right, running low on oil will mess things up very quickly.

This probably started it...

Low oil could have only made the problem worse.

low oil prolly , never spend the 5sec to check it.
but i dont get how can it cause misfires on idle.
the dealer said that they found the guides worn n thats
what is causing to misfire. good thing its covered
under warranty.

qwikredline

the other thing that kills valve guides is constantly buzzing the motor to redline and beyond...especially with lo oil. What brand/grade oil you using?

Omnigear

mob1 as the book says ^_^

qwikredline

so mobil 1 50w30? or did you put in a higher viscosity, like 10w30 or 20w 50? Just asking...

ralliartist

fixed

qwikredline

thank you

Dainslaif

Was gonna say... I thought Qwik had finally lost it.

ya 5 30w one
is that wrong ?

Omnigear

iTrader: (4)

bump.

qwikredline

5 30 is good. unusual for guides to go without some other engine distress from low oil....be happy it is under warranty (fingers crossed) and check oil more often....

Omnigear

iTrader: (4)

only time i checked was after i do an oil change. but it seems unusual
that #2 valve guides is the one thats worn, and that can cause misfires
at idle.

qwikredline

tis true sounds unusual hope you get your car back fixed and fine....
