Do they stay around one cylinder in particular, or are they randomly distributed?
Are you still running stock spark-plugs?

I never got any missfire codes until I put a T-1 cam in.I`ve got an SES light and A-Taped it and it shows no codes.But that was after I ran the car 3 on and off cycles and the light goes away.

Are misfires normal???
My car is now finally in perfect tune. Perfect Ltrims (never above 0%) and perfect o2's (.88-.89) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
However, I'm still getting misfires and was wondering if this is normal. I don't get any KR either.
Somehow atap is showing that I'm getting misfires in most of my cylinders!!! How could this be???
All I have are bolt ons for mods, and I'm maybe thinking injectors are bad, but I only have 20K miles on it. I am running 62psi fuel pressure which may add some load to the injectors. I dunno.
Any suggestions???

I don't get a ton of misfires, at idle when I look at ATAP using the cylinder misfire history for each cylinder, I get up to 5 misfires in some of the cylinders in a minutes time or so...
the other wierd thing is when I'm recording atap runs, I have a category for total misfires. When I start recording, that number right off the bat will start at 8 or 12 or something high.
But as atap is logging more data while I'm driving, that total misfire number drops in 2's....to 6, then 4, then 2, etc...

Re: Are misfires normal???
We're talking about the mis-fire current for each cyl, right?
This parameter records the number of "misses" out of the last 200. Anywhere up to 10-12 is very normal in my opinion. Try sorting your data by PRM and deleting anything below 1K rpm. What does it look like in other RPM ranges?
