Multiple misfires readings
#11
[QUOTE=jerms212;318929]I'm ASE certified and own a shop here in Fort Worth - been doing this my entire life. I can't diagnose it without him bringing to me so I'm giving him some pointers on what he can do to figure it out on his own instead of paying a mechanic $80 an hour to diagnose it. New spark plugs was a cheap guess - ignition coils are a little more expensive of a guess but they both rule out potential problems for when a mechanic may look look at it. Multiple random misfires is a generic code and can be extremely difficult to chase down especially if there are multiple factors like fouled out plugs, bad exhaust recirculation, bad compression etc. I've had customers bring in MRM codes and it be nothing more than a clogged fuel injector and I've had then come in where it's been blown head gasket, blocked cat, fouled plugs, and gunked up fuel rails.[/QUOTE

Thanx 4 the link. I purchased 5, from 1A auto. But when I put them in the idle was not what it was when I changed my plugs. The misfires are more pronounced. So.....I did get 5 (ignition coils packs) from a dealership in Delaware and saved on taxes. $194.00 w/ an employee discount used the gm friends an family plan!! Gonna change them this evening and see what happens. No Idea what I'll do w/ the ones I purchased from 1A, there might b a sensitivity issue. If this changes doesn't do it then off to the pros!

Your truck (assuming it is stock) only require 87 octane, and it cannot use anything higher so you are simply pissing away $$ with higher octane levels.
More important to use quality fuel instead of cheap off brand stuff.
