What is the test a tech would do to see if this issue is also happening to my 2020 model with 27,400 miles having random misfire on cylinder 5 at rpm over 5000?
I don't know what the code was, the service guys just said misfire on cyl 5. I could ask them to check. Is P0300 linked to this early lifter cam lobe issue?
Wow, thank you very much! I'll stop by the dealership tomorrow. I'm actually rooting for a camshaft, valvetrain, or injector issue. I think those are all part of the powertrain warranty.
I was told if it was just coil or plug, that wouldn't be part of the powertrain. Is that right?
The dealership said if it's bolted to the engine it's only part of the 3/36000 mile warranty, but if it were a rocker arm, then maybe it should be powertrain 5/60000 I believe.
Unfortunately I haven't scoped it, assuming you mean oscilicope?
I thought cylinder 5 was passenger side closest to firewall.
I swapped coil packs with cylinder 3, misfire continues on cyl 5. Changed plug in cyl 5,issue still happens.
So either cylinder 5 is elsewhere, it's a bigger...
Are you saying left bank while you're in the driver seat, or standing at the front bumper looking towards the windshield?
Everything I find says passenger side nearest firewall is number 5.
Looks like just a 10mm bolt and a wire plug and these babies are out. Might have to move a line out of the way slightly. Leaving the office for the day to fix this. Fricken $500 to change 1 coil, BAH!
When I step on it and get to 5000 rpm I get a random misfire in cylinder #5. Clear the code, it doesn't come back, until I hit 5000 rpms again.
Its past its 3 year warranty with only 27k miles, but dealer wants $540 to replace 1 coil (if that's the issue).
I watched a video on youtube about...
Hey thanks @Proximo . It probably has been a year or two. I've been focusing my online foruming to woodworking and lawn care mostly.
Still love Gladys, haven't really done any mods except for dropping a ladder on my hood at deer camp, put a nice dent on there, lol.
Glad to see you and...
I've always had my lights on "auto" and the right rocker just below the 2nd detent.
Lately I'll be driving during the day, the instrument cluster and radio are on daytime mode and then it switches to night mode (dash lights dim) while the sun is out.
Is there a light sensor that I'm blocking...
