not always . . .what about valve ajustmanet>? when was the last one done ?

 

valve adjustment was done about 15k ago. But my engine sounds fine, no tapping. All i hear is the misfire at idle, sometimes it idles perfect. Its then when i hit the gas starts backfiring and the car starts shaking badly.

Also if i had a bad valve or blown rings, wouldn't i have oil all over the plugs??? my cylinder 2 is fouled with fuel but all other cylinder looks good. But there is no oil on the plugs.

no detonation?

 

nope, no detonation i can hear.

 

you got hondata? maybe try and reburn the mpa and see what happens . i know they wig out sometimes. . its a shot in the dark , but worth a try righttry resettintg the ecu too ?

 

I have a question, I misfire but its not audible or even makes a noise/shake. I just get random misfire CEL's granted I just changed out the small orifice for the middle one on my fpr and haven't checked if I got any yet, but what can that be a sign of, if the ecu is throwing random ones but I don't feel it or see the car acting funny in any way, smoking etc...

 

you wont until it throws that code. . . well mine would fluctuate and idle was shitty on and off when 1st started up , thats how i would know and thne the cel would come on rigght away after

 

I'm using a P28 ecu so i dont even get a CEL.

 

if your boosting alot it could be your spark plugs Most likely the plug gap I know it sounds stupid but try to gap them @ like .022 or .023 and see if that helps

 

mine misfires at idle so i know its not the plugs, mine are gapped at .03

 

You said that your #2 plug was fouled with fuel, switch the injector to another cylinder and see if it follows the injector. Maybe its gone bad.

 

you dont have a cat on that car do you?
