Running on 1 cylinder
Hey everyone, long time, how's everyone?
Just seeking some advice/suggestions.
My car for the past 3-4 mths has been running good, once a mth it would bog when hitting the gas but still run (20-30 mins for that one day). Yesterday it was doing the same thing for 1/2 hr but this time it was giving me an engine light, I drove for a few mins, it went away and the car ran OK for the next 20 mins.
This morning, the car is doing the same thing and was running like total **** (a lot worse than yesterday), this time the engine light remained on while I was near my house this time so I pulled over and ran some codes and parked it. Basically it's running on 1 cylinder due to the codes I have received.
I received 5 codes:
P0300 Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected
P0302 Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected
P0303 Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected
P0304 Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected
P1399 Wait To Start Lamp Circuit
What are your suggestions on troubleshooting this? The motor is up for a tune up right now and I was getting around to doing it in the next couple of weeks but i'm unsure if it will resolve the current issue.
The car is driven like a granny so the motor is not taking a beating..oil level is good.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks

Re: Running on 1 cylinder (mbsi)
i'd be curious about, at the most basic level, the condition of the plugs when it does this. see what they look like.
the intermittent problem is odd.
