Exclamation Cobb AP issues - Cylinder 2 misfire

Hello,

I have a 2010 Evo MR Touring. 6000kms. Have had the AP Stage 1 93octane installed since 1000kms. Car has been running like a dream on 94octane. The check engine light turned on yesturday while driving around. I used the AP and it showed as cyclinder 2 misfire. Reflashed the ECU and the light went off. About an hour later the light came back on. This time I reflashed to stock, and then reinstalled the Stage 1 93+. Check engine light came on again today. I completely uninstalled the AP and the light went off again. Any idea of whats going on?

Cheers

Sounds like a bad plug or coil.

Why to you continue to think it's the Cobb tune?

The light goes off every time you flash the ecu because you are clearing the codes during the reset. As others have said, check the plugs / coilpack.

Pulled all the plugs and cleaned them....check engine light still on. I replaced the #2 plug and everything is back to normal. Thanks guys!!!

I try to always run Chevron 94octane, but sometimes get stuck with Husky/Mohawk 94.

BTW, extremely happy with the car so far. My first mitsu, and it is a blast to daily drive.

Cheers,

Scott

Yeah those stock plugs are a hit and miss from the factory. Either they're perfect or have issues from the start! You should try out stage 2, it'll make u even happier. I actually find that I get less knock with husky!
