Detecting a misfire

I got install my exhaust so I can hear the engine real good now and it seems like it has a slight "distrubance" in the noise... even kinda a shutter at lower rpms/less gas.

Im just wondering how to narrow it down? I was looking at all the codes in a book but didnt see a code for each cylinder misfire.

Thanks, AGAIN

Adam

Well you could pull the codes and see what comes up, there may be a code that is affected by a mis fire condition but not specific, hope that made sense.

You could always change your cap and rotor just to be on the safe side, test your plug wires for resistance and double check your plug wires to ensure you reinstalled them using the correct firing order. Who knows? Good luck
