    After putting gas at 120th & Colorado Stinker, I have a check engine light.
    It said misfire on cyl 8 again, but acts like coil or pre O2 sensor.
    First, I need to use up all the gas, and change ignition coil with different cylinder to see it is.
    Then put new gas and see.

    Sorry. Found out wires and coil was little dusty. After cleaning those,it is running fine (for now).

    Silicone based dielectric grease on the coil electrical connections may prevent future misfires. Keeps things from sticking together too. Deicing material on roads can wreck havoc on electrical connectors.

    Thanks. I always thought it was unnecessary process until it happened to me.
    I am just happy that it was not the bad ignition coil nor o2.

    I've also found it helpful in keeping spark plug boots from fusing to the plugs
    Liberals never met a slippery slope they didn't grease.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.
