    what's bright, orange and everyone hates???

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I've been fighting with my car for a couple of days now because the check engine light comes and goes as it wants. I really dont drive my car that often anymore because i dont need to but when i do it makes me feel soooo much better but last night i was going to my garage and i saw that my check engine light came on so when i got there i vag it...
    I noticed that i keep on getting O2 sensor problem but that might be because of the straight piggies i'm running (i have vast eliminators on). but the thing that bothers me the most i keep on getting miss fires on 2,4,6... i dont know why.. i changed my plugs no more then 5000 miles ago ( i used either bosch or NGK) its just pissing me off.
    just a brief background on the car it has stock KO3, 110K, Baileys DV, Borla Exhaust, Piggies with straight pipes and GIAC chip..
    What do you think it could be???? any input could be helpful....

    since you are getting multiple misfires i could be one of your ICM's (ignition control module) there are 2 on the airbox. try switching them and see if the misfires follow the ICM.

    man, there are so many things that can cause misfiring.... you dont have to literally MOVE the ICM's just move the plugs from one to the other. also, look for recent threads from volk88 or something similar to that, hes listed about everything (yes EVERYTHING) that can cause misfires on this car.
