6+?

You asking about snow fall potential or spooning potential?

Hey now...

Swapped out the maf sensor with a used oem. I was hopeful, but no difference. Still sounds like it's kind of popping out of the exhaust. Still no cel. I didn't have time to look at the plugs. I also swapped out my idler arm, and idler arm bracket in my van. Not enough time in the day.....

Have you looked at live misfire data with your Tech2? I keep wondering if it’s just a burned plug wire.

Not a coil?

When I used the Tech 2 last week it showed 0 misfires.

I'd think a bad coil would cause a misfire.

It just started snowing.

I was layered up pretty good, so I'm good--for now. You guys gonna get hit pretty good? 6+?

We're only supposed to get a few inches but it is coming down pretty good right now.

Not heavy here yet, but I guess we'll see in a bit. Supposed to turn to rain/freezing rain by tomorrow, then go up to 42 degrees.

I don’t think you were looking at it right. It resets every 100 cycles. Plus I have never seen an engine run 100 cycles with zero misfires.

So misfires would somewhat be common? If that's the case how would you know it's an issue/problem?

Because most cylinders will have 2,3, 4 whatever and one or more will have 20, 30 100 whatever. There’s thousands of fires in a cycle of 100. When I had a burned plug wire I think I was getting like 100 or more per 100 cycles iirc. It will be obvious.

Ah ok, gotcha. I'm really hoping I can get to it on my next day off. I can feel that the power is off. I really thought it would've been the o2 or the maf.

You have to have a lot of misfires or it would be running good.

I also get a lot of "Lost Communication" plugging into the obd.
Which adds to my frustration level.

Hey tone looks like it changed to rain your way already?

Not yet, still snowing here.

Interesting, radar says it is. Must be the cold air trapped under it?

Looks like it's turning to rain now.

 

[89Suburban]

Here too. But I got a couple snow pics snuck in.
