I was literally driving down the road and the engine was running a little rough at one intersection while at a stop. Resumed driving and I get misfire codes, light is flashing engine is banging. Changed plugs, wires and coils... no more miss fires but engine is still banging.


Assuming liners are still in place... Maybe the tappets are also in need of replacing? what are the odds of all this happening at the same time of a misfire. I literally pulled over, shut the engine down and called a tow truck, drove it onto the truck, and off and into my garage. Noise isn't any different weather the engine is hot or cold.


I will go home:
-Sniff the coolant...
-Hook up my lynx diag and double check there are no misfire accruing and then run test to measure cylinder roughness.
