[/align][/align]And you gave it a whole 2 hours and 7 minutes... I suspect that after the snotty response a lot of people walked away.[/align][/align]Anyway, the problem is obviously heat related and since the PCM is not throwing any permanent codes it is thinkingit's just an occasional misfire. Why the "good mechanic"was of no help will apparently remain a mystery.[/align][/align]It could be fuel related, however the fact that it's kicking at a specific (and higher) RPM leads me to suspect one or more bad plugs, COPs, and/or COP boot/spring--all of which could cause the spark to weaken and blowout as the CC pressure increases (requiring more voltage to fire the plug).[/align][/align]You said the plugs were replaced at 100k, what kind of plugs did you install? If they were not premium platinum or better then they could very possibly be toast after 42k miles. In any event, yank 'em and see what they look like. This will also let you know if it's a fueling issue (which I doubt 'cause the PCM is pretty good at reporting rich/lean) as consistently running rich or lean will cause the plug to appear dark or white in colouration.[/align][/align]

wow
this site has turned to ****
when i joined in 06 it was a real forum everyone put there 2 cents in
now if you don't talk about wheels, gears, or exhaust there's no point in posting.

I have a real problem with my car and get 0 responses

Sucks to be you. Why not learn some troubleshooting skills instead of leaching from others and then whine when you don't get your question answered in 5 minutes. :fu:
