    Tracking down a misfire

    Yeah same day I pulled the valve covers to take a look at how the rocker arms were moving I checked it out everything looks good. Trust me I'm praying for a simple stupid solution but knowing my luck I have a feeling it's going to be something along the lines of a rebuild or more than likely...

    Tracking down a misfire

    Another update for today, I pulled the valve cover off to take a look at the rockers. For some reason I'm having a hard time with it uploading correctly to imgur, so I've attached a Google drive link to the video. None of the rocker seem loose as they said they would be if there was an issue and...

    Sorry for the late response, been busy today. I was going to do all that this morning but forgot to then when I finally got in the car to drive somewhere this evening it was working again.

    Replacing my knock sensors

    Yeah sorry about that, I only recently discovered that the cat or cats were clogged due to that rattling noise coming from underneath. It wasn't doing it prior to maybe 3 to 4 weeks ago, not really keeping a timeline so it's a little fuzzy. Unfortunately I don't have the expensive scanner tool...

    Replacing my knock sensors

    Not with a scanner I did that method where you connect the two terminals and let it drain, I thought when I saw that that was a way of draining the system memory to relearn everything

    Replacing my knock sensors

    Got the new knock sensors in, naturally not without running into a few problems, but nevertheless is done. I was hoping this was what was causing my misfire but unfortunately it's still there. I've had this misfire since I've bought the car and cannot for the life of me figure out the cause...

    Help trying to figure out chirping noise

    As tom3 recommended doing lowering the heat settings, I dropped it down to 80° on both sides and I'm still getting the noise. Since you're saying you're having trouble hearing the noise I took some more video this morning while I was driving to capture the audio. As you can see in the video for...

    Help trying to figure out chirping noise

    I'll give it a try and see what happens. Like I mentioned when I first got the car it was doing it to me and it was cold out so I had the heat going. Didn't notice at all summer when I had the AC on but since I cranked the heat back over now it's doing it again.

    Help trying to figure out chirping noise

    It's definitely not that. I know my brakes are good Just change the rear rotors and pads a few months ago and I checked the front while I was doing it and they were still good. I can get that noise to happen as was mentioned previously when I'm sitting with or without the key in the ignition...

    Replacing my knock sensors

    Thanks for mentioning that, I forgot when I first purchased the vehicle I can see the build up of oil around the covers. There's no steady leak but they definitely need to be replaced. Put the order in this morning and I added those as well. Thanks again everyone for your help, I appreciate it.
