Yeah, misfires are happening. What was your experience? Did you fix it yourself, or did you need a mechanic?

I messed around with it, checking connections, but I got fed up pretty quick. I just took it to a shop. Best 95€ I ever spent, LOL!

Thanks. Sounds like getting a mechanic is the way to go. I'll book an appointment.

Rough idle, check engine light... sounds familiar. I had similar issues with my Ranger. Misfires, right? Was it hard to pinpoint?
