Hi-

Today my car began misfiring as I pulled out of the driveway. I took it to
a friend's shop, we pulled a code showing cylinder # 2 misfire. Pulled the
plug- looked fine. Had the coils done 3 months ago.

So, off to the dealer. An hour or so later, they couldn't find anything,
and wiggled all the wiring looking for a bad connection. The car started
running fine again. They told me to drive it and see if it happens again,
no charge this time. They speculate either a bad connection that got
reseated by wiggling the wires or possibly a bread somewhere in the wiring
harness.

Anyone have a similar problem? Any resolution?

BTW, kudos to the dealer for not charging me- Regal in Roswell, GA.

Have you ever had your injectors cleaned? It might have been one of them acting
up. It was nice of your dealer to not charge for their time hard to find one
who would not charge something.

Never had injectors serviced.

Well I would try running a quality injector cleaner with about half a tank of
gas. I think you will notice an improvment. Just a thought and $6 is worth
trying.

I have had 3 injectors go bad. 2 of them did not generate a trouble code
for weeks after I noticed hard starting and rough cold idle (just a little
down on power when warm). Only one turned on the Check Engine light the
same day, but it was continously running rough.

Have never had any ignition problems (95 SE purchased May 94).
