Hi guys just registered cause the other site is too busy for me.

Anyways on my interceptor gauge it sometimes shows misfire like pictured below then goes back to 0. I got no CELs tho so should I be worried?

I get really small amounts of misfires as well. My DashHawk shows all 4 cylinders and get between 1-3 on different cylinders randomly, but it never does it two days in a row.

My old SS/SC used to misfire between shifts and when rev matching a down shift.... since it was new . It never set a code and was more of an annoyance than a problem . I bet that what your seeing , If it doesn't misfire under load than i wouldn't worry about it .

I've had a CEL which comes back as a misfire for about a month now, the 2 times I've had it to GM they cannot find the misfire and 1-2 days after I take it home it comes back. It hasn't caused any other issues I know of so I wonder if it's actually a problem or just as steve was saying and a common ecotec misfire.......

Get new plugs.... gap them properly.

Check your coil packs, and also make sure your tune is in check. Misfires seem to be popping up more and more due to the heat now.

Just be careful...
