Re: engine missfire??

Have someone with a good scanner check and see which cylinders are misfiring and how badly. Did you happen to down shift too much while driving or while going to fast? Because if all the cylinders are misfiring and one or more really badly, you could have some bent valves. (Worst case scenario) Also it could be a plug, wire or coil pack.

Most likely just something like your plugs, wires, or coil. Definetly have it rescanned and start with that stuff.

First you need to tell us what car, year, mileage, mods.
