Misfire at high speed In the course of squashing a flyby attempt tonight
I got a flashing SES light which I figure has to be
misfires. It came on at about 110-120MPH. The car
felt like it was "breaking up", down on power a bit
(but still enough for the job at hand).
Just wondering whether anyone's run into a misfire
problem that's purely high speed related?
Maybe my ram air just commenced to work and I
ran out of injector. Heh.

I dont know what would cause a motor to miss at just that speed

So, I went and hooked up HPTuners today and pulled
the misfire history count (fortunately it was still fresh
from last night). Hmmm... 115 on Cylinder 2, onesy-twosey
everywhere else. Wiggle the injector connector, the coil
connector, the spark plug wire... whaddya know, my
fairly-new Taylor Thundervolt wire is just sort of
hanging there.
I guess it was at least resting on the
plug. Sorta. And maybe the underhood turbulence went
and shook it out of place.
Well, nice to know I can get by with 7 cylinders in a
pinch.
