Random, Random Misfire
Well, this has been going on for a while, cant remember, before I put it away for winter stoarge anyways.
Sometimes it misfires, runs real rough. No power at all. Comes and goes. Lasts a couple of seconds at a time. If I throttle it hard, then the misfire goes away. Drive 2 miles, comes back, drive 30 seconds, comes back.....Very Random.
Then the next day, I will go for a cruise and it wont misfire at all...runs just fine and dandy.
Next day, misfire again....
Doesnt matter if its cold, or hot, warmed up, or
Ive got long tube headers with dual exhaust to the front of the rear axle with high flow cats and no mufflers. Ran great after the header/exhaust install for months.
Ported and polished MAF and TB. - unhooked MAF and took it for a drive, same symptoms.
I have the code P1157 & P1158? ? Insufficient switching... both banks
P0300 random misfire.
Ive searched and serched, but im not sure where to start now.
Should I go out and buy some new O2 sensors?

Check your plugs. If theres any cracks they may still work randomly causing the misfires. Been there before... it might also help to get on a data logger of some sort to see if theres any specific cylinders that have any misfires recorded.

I looked through my tuning software & DTC documents & did not find P1157 or P1158. Although, there are P0157 & P0158 of which are oxygen sensor faults. If your code reader has noted codes P1157 & P1158, they may be manufacturer codes related to the PCM outputs that are sent to either the coils or the injectors. If this is the case, then it may be the PCM. What year is your car?
