Question about a bay area s2000 shop
hey are there any shops that specialize in work for s2000's around the bay area? I want to run a check-up/tune-up if needed, but don't want to get jacked at the stealership. Is there anyone like Billman205 on these forums for us on the west coast? Any input would be greatly appreciated, thanks everyone.

Your random misfire on all 4 is fairly common for earlier S2000s. There is no easy fix for that one. You kind of have a little trial and error to figure out... sometimes you can just replace the coils and it gets better. Sometimes you have to dig deeper.

thanks for the recommendations guys.
for the cylinder 4 misfire? you can always try using someones coil pack. if it still misfires. try changing the spark plug. just that one cylinder first. if not. then i would ask for you to leave your car for the day and i can try and figure it out.
