Misfires and valvetronic error codes?!
I haven't had much time because I am not behind my laptop but I just had the service engine light come on and read out to be misfire 1,5,6. And something like a valvetronic error?? Can someone shed some insight or presumptions before I go apeshit on google when I get home tonight?
First thought was injectors. And since those are done in 3s it looks like I may need to do all 6?? What's that valvetronic reading?? |

so i just replaced ignition coils and spark plugs.. idle is much more smooth at 700rpms and not bouncing around from 600-700.
BUT there was oil on the spark plug.. only #4 from the front, the rest were okay thoughts? I went ahead and ordered a new valve cover gasket.. hoping its just this, but if you guys have other thoughts then let me know, thanks Last edited by 1Hokie; 08-25-2015 at 05:23 PM.. |

Use some non flammable BrakeKleen by CRC and compressed air - down the spark plug hole. That should get rid of any old oil residue. So... new VC ad VCG. What spark plugs? Dealer bought ones? IF not that would be my next step. Then IF you have good spark plugs it will be time for new injectors and/or carbon cleaning. Dack
