It is most noticeble while maintaining about 50mph. I do have a little bit of timing chain noise mentioned in another thread but I don't think there is enough chain slack to cause an engine miss. Some times it is barely noticeable and sometimes it is pretty bad. I went to Autozone and bought plugs and wires. (I bought this car three months ago and haven't tuned it up yet.) The asshole at Autozone gave me attitude the minute I asked him to check my codes. He said that the scanner was broken, the manager told him to pull one off of the shelf. He said couldn't find the connector, I showed him where it was. He said that his scanner would only show codes if the check engine light was on. I told him that I have spent over $4000 in that store over the past 5 years and if he wanted to see another one that he would hook my car up and check it for me. Well finally he figured it would be easier and quicker to hook the damn thing up. after about 30 seconds he said "yep just like I said no codes." I wrote service at a Ford dealer after I quit wrenching Chrysler's shit boxes and I had many techs pull codes for me. From my (faded) memory Some codes are hard and some soft with only the hard ones triggering the check engine light. Either way I need to tune the car to see if that cures it but whats up with the codes anyway?</p></blockquote><p></p>
