if it's not one thing it's another... now i am getting another misfire- to the point that the CEL is blinking while driving and it's running like shit again... at least there's no strange noises and oil pressure is good! hoping it's something simple like wires or a single coil... oh well, i guess it'll be going back into the shop tomorrow to get fixed, again... this just sucks because of christmas and all the money i've already spent on this thing lately and this repair bill will have to come out of money i was saving for a tune
