#116 of 118 Check engine light engine "skipping" by tsmith9 Jul 12, 2009 (10:37 am)
Hey everyone, Could really use some help on chasing down a "misfire" problem. I get check eng. light and engine skips or misfires. OBD code is P0356 (primary/secondary ignition failure cylinder 6). I have replaced coil, plugs, fuel pump, filter, cleaned injectors, and checked all wires. I have pulled out PCM to check connections and all to no avail. The only thing that seems to help is to NOT use regular unleaded gas. It seems that only premium will most of the time keep it from misfiring which makes no sense. I see at least two of you have had similar problem. Any solutions found? Any new suggestions ??? Thanks!

#118 of 118 Sputtering above 45 mph by jimmb Oct 06, 2009 (2:06 am)
Vehicle dramatically loses power when I get up to and above 45 mph. Thereafter you have to floor it to keep it from jumping and sputtering. Runs fine below 45 mph and there seems to be no problem when accelerating. Appreciate any feedback you can provide?
