Car threw a cel today.
Well, it's a misfire in the 4th cylinder. I know my spark plugs are due, could that be the problem? Anything else that i should worry about? Any input's appreciated.

How many miles? I had a misfire code (cylinder 4? dont remember) along with 2 other codes before I had my CEL fixes. This was about ~ 35K miles. My mods are catless up, highflow TBE, IC hoses and ecutek.
A friend told me it was due to the o2 sensors reading to much fuel/too hot...?? Maybe someone can explain it better. I dont know...but now that I did the 2.2k ohm 1/2 watt resistor for the uppipe and mechanical fix for the rear o2 , none of the CEL's have come back. Im at 52K miles now.
Do you have a light flyheel?

running a VF34 your plugs are going to go alot quicker id replace the plugs and go from there see if it happens again.

Start with the plugs, of course one step colder than stock. Report back if the problem is still there. Check out www.clubplug.net
