i put 500 mi on her last weekend no issues whatsoever...now all of a sudden a cel and i have these 3 codes...the car feels like its running fine but im just limping around keeping the rpms low as possible...how bad am i gonna **** it up driving? can anybody help a n00b out today?

thanks man ive found a few threads on here also...seems it could be anything from bad gas (which i dont think is the case here) to plugs, coil pack, injectors...maybe even ecu or valves...i just cant understand how i went up to sarasota and back last weekend and the car ran flawlessly...now all of a sudden i get this random shit...ultimately im going to end up at the dealer monday, i just hope it isnt serious...unless maybe someone can lend me a hand tomorrow and show me how to swap coil packs...im really friggin frustrated...i dont see how a car with 20k mi can have issues...unless the previous owner over revved and its just now coming to life...thing is the car runs fine...up to 4k anyway...too scared to go past that now...it had been running fine tho

what exactly do you need for ya car

s2kmiami69

i wish i knew man i wish i knew...i need to know why im getting a random misfire cel for cylinders 1 and 2...the car was running absolutely fine...it still seems to be but im not revving any higher than i have to...unless someone is willing to help me swap coil packs today, as i read that may be a solution, im going to just have to take it to the dealer monday morning, and hope that they have an idea how to troubleshoot this, and if they dont, i guess ill just ask them to do a compression test, so i know that isnt the problem...im open to any suggestions, right now im just extremely frustrated and thinking the worst, which would be that the previous owner over revved and im now suffering the consequences....i really dont think thats it because the car seems to be running fine

so i stopped by the dealer this morning to get their opinion...they reset the ecu and asked me what gas i use...im like 93, he says what brand...i said ive been using shell. dude shakes his head and is like shell is no good they have too much ethanol...rofl wow, im friggin amazed....god i hope that light doesnt come back on

I heard the opposite about Shell. I have been using it exclusively with no problems.

What brand did he recommend?
