On another thread, I am wondering out loud of the solution to this cold start misfire problem is simply a smaller spark plug gap.
As far as I know, the difference between (say) 0.035 and 0.045" on a normally running, warm engine is minuscule, probably not measurable. Now,...
Misfire is an ignition problem. Closing the gap increases the reliability of the spark when cold.
Picked up some Denso SK16R11s for the 2010. Happily, they appear to be the genuine article (a pox upon the counterfeiters). The factory gap on...
The pulsetech charger has been on the car about 70% of the time since my last update. The car was driven 2 - 3 hours yesterday, parked overnight,...
Happy New Year Mendel, you are one heck of a resource!

I have a Pulsetech Xtreme charger that works well on sulfated batteries. I was terribly skeptical of claims. But when I inadvertently killed a 6...
They light up when they see my money:D. When I bought our Honda Fit, I didn't take my ramps. On that car I missed a big dent in the AC...
My 2010 (purchased early Nov) has its original battery. May 2010 date code iirc. It's obviously weak, but hasn't caused a problem yet. This...
More used car buying stuff... My car was a mouse house. I had a mouse nest the size of a football in the windshield wiper transmission....
The same on Gen 3. Spare tire well prone to condensation.
I think that dude in the video has single handedly beat down the value of 2010s. I was shopping for an 09 - 11 Honda Fit to replace an 11 Sport...
Panlong OBD2 dongle, < $11 @ Amazon. Hybrid Assistant App (free) Works great.
So the implication here is that cleaning out the EGR system solved the cold start misfire problem commonly referred to (in error, I suspect) as...
