I have an 02 TL-S. The other day my check light, vsa, and traction control come on all at the same time. I took to my friends shop, and pull the codes. It tells me all of the cylinder were misfiring. I reset the codes, and the car was running fine. Was on the highway broke 100 mph, and it did it again. Now I have no check engine light, but the is a slight tapping. No power loss, no oil light, and oil is right it is supposed to be. Would the tapping be the faulty coilpacks, and/or sparkplugs? Car still drives fine, the is just a slight tapping. Any ideas?????

 

1. Check your gas cap
2. What fuel are you using
3. Try an octane booster

It happened to me a month ago, and it seemed to be bad gas. I thought I was joining the club

 

well i do have to admit. i have been putting shitty gas in the car. i am going to try a octane booster and some better gas. the gas cap seems to be fine.hopefully that will do the trick. any other ideas in the mean time.

 

just an update. took my car into the dealer and my motor has a spun rod. does anyone have experiences with this?

 

Thats a rare thing that you spun a rod bearing. first ive seen on the forum

 

yeah it sucks. my only thought is the person who had it before me was beating on it, and didnt take care of it. i babied the car, this sucks. hopefully my insurance will take care of it.

 

What kind of insurance do you have that would cover a spun rod?
