Hey guys.

I have a misfire in cylinder 2 that showed up on my accessport. It was the first time I had turned the car on in 9 days. It sounded louder when I turned it on and was rougher as well, then smoothed out,

I am due for a plug change on this oil change (10k) I may move the coil packs as well to check. Anything else I should look at? Plugs coming next week, my thumb is broken right now so wrenching isn’t on the menu

I cleared the code and restarted the car, put it in Drive and moved it, it did not happen again.

Not sure if some folks get the occasional one off misfire. This is the first I’ve had with the car.

Trying not to over-worry about it but that’s kind of what I do best.

You shoulda heard my e36 after I started it back up again for the first time in a month and a half. Was running on what sounded like 3-5 cylinders for the first few minutes. Totally normal.
