    Default Awww... how cute... My 1st CEL

    Yep, that's right...


    No clue what caused it... Pulling away from a light "spiritedly" last night in light rain (no, not full throttle, just kinda quick) and car ran like butt for a few seconds and the cel came on... Stayed on this morning on the way to work and ever since...


    Code P0304, Cylinder 4 misfire... Logged it at least a couple times.

    Off to see how good Hiley's new service dept is I guess.... Yippie

    3 times to be exact, if it set the MIL. Let us know what they find, but I'm guessing a coil got wet.

    3 times to set off the error?

    when I pulled it, it was listed twice, so that means 6

    Ok... so my answer was too short... There have to be 3 misfires in the same rpm band with the engine at the same temperature...

    Sorry to hear that, rx7gslse.

    BTW, make sure to book your car in with Taryn in Service. She's worth a visit to the Service dept at Hiley Hurst all by herself!

    Not as fun

    It's always more fun to thrash a RENTAL!
