I'm in North Carolina. Today we had a lovely 102° Fahrenheit/38 Celcius. The misfiring was actually at its worst when we were having 90 degree F...
@Mendel Leisk, probably about 2,500 miles since I installed the OCC. @The Critic, well.. still not a single misfire in 3-4 days. My engine is...
So I replaced the ignition coils and - voila - problem solved. I've never heard my engine start up and idle so smoothly. After months of dreading...
The EGR was about as bad as some of the others I've seen here. Couldn't see light through it -- could barely make out the individual spacers...

Is your coolant leak a continuous slow leak or does it leak a certain amount at once and then stop periodically? Mine is the latter. I'm located...
So I just changed my oil (first time DIYing on this particular vehicle). No sign of coolant milkyness in the oil, so I'm taking that as a good...
Do you have to apply anti-seize when reinstalling the plugs?
I may do that soon, much to my irritation (I just replaced spark plugs a month ago, and have been told that you shouldn't put the same ones in if...
So I ran the block test a neurotic number of three times; results have been fine every time. I'm assuming it's fairly conclusive that my head...
