Ive been having this code pop up about once every couple of days for misfiring. I changed the plugs and wires and dont know what could be causing it. I have Corsa cat back.

And my car is running really hot compared to my friends vette, mines around 215, what could be causing it to run really hot?

Probably something going on with the fuel injectors, try running some Techron through it. Might help.
