Engine Misfire
Engine Misfire
My engine Misfires at low RPM most likely do to running a little rich. It gets bad after really high speeds for long periods of time. I was just wondering, how bad is misfiring for a car? Does it ruin the engine after a while? I know that I lose power when my engine is misfiring, but I am worried that I am also damaging the engine. Please note that these are not loud misfires, but more like little vibrations, and some times my engine light goes on telling me that I have multiple misfires. I will be leaning out my car soon, but I'm just wondering if I should stop driving until I fix this problem.
Sounds like you're having a similar problem to me, even though you're turbo.

My engine doesn't hesitate though. It kinda vibrates softly. It's almost like a stall vibrate, but not as rough. I know it's a misfire because my engine light goes on some times telling me that it's a misfire.
Hrm, check the basics on your ignition system then, plugs and coils, and go from there. Does the misfire code tell you which cylinder or is it a random misfire code?

Sometimes random, sometimes cylinder 3. I have a feeling that it is because I am running rich. I will go change it, but I just want to know if those misfires are damaging my engine. I tried to google some info on that, but they only tell me causes of misfire, not really what concenquences it has on my engine.
