For those that were not at the last dg event, My car started having some major misfire issues twards the end of the day.
The CEL never came on. I checked everything that I could think of.
I took it to the dealer, and they played hit and mis with it. They pulled the spark plugs, and that's when I got the call: "Mr Jones, What kind of octane boost have you been running?"

As it turns out, the octane boost completely fouled the plugs, and left a nice red residue on them for Ford to not cover it under warranty. cost: $260.

Never use +104 octane boost again.

It's good to have my car back, and thankfully it wasn't anything inside the motor that let go.

as for some one that works you should have played dumb. they could have warrentyed them for high resistance.

Damn man... I'm glad it wasn't too bad!


We had to use tons of that stuff on the AKA Rally... because there's only 91 octane out west.

Or called the resident Ford service advisor.

he speaks the truth! RX8 (er....R34) is the man for ford service.

i don't know of anyone else in the history of ford service that has written up a service record for me in the name of Coco Mellons from Gnarltown, USA, and also written the service advisory for my minivan as "transmission failed mid-drift...please advise". lol.

I'll use the ford hookup on the next adventure.

Sorry about your mis-fire adventure. I went to Barber this past weekend and put them all on "Blue Oval" advisory! No mis-fires, I love my car!!

so your car felt that good.

Nice!! I've always wanted to drive that track.

You were killing it at the last event.

Yes, the car felt that good! I was/am amazed. We all need to go do some road course events, way to much fun. The Audi club events are fun because most drivers are not that fast, but the events are a little disorganized.

I'm still trying to get to your level David, but it's getting closer!
