Some very strange events happened this morning!!!
I took my Disco into the shop so they could diagnose what my problem was. They hooked it up, fast forward an hour and a half, and they bring me the bad news.
Drumroll Please.......
The ECM is bad. I can't say I was surprised. He said just what I had thought...the drivers for the #8 injector were failing, it was holding the #8 injector open,and it was dumping fuel into the cylinder. Hence why it was flooding out, msifiring, etc.
But that's not even the good part.
They got it all back together, and the guy who drove it up for me made the comment, "I don't know. It's not missing anymore. Maybe it came back to life after I unplugged it and scanned it." I said thanks, hopped in and got it on the road.
Nothing. Not a flash, not a blink, not a flicker. The SES light is OUT. It's also running WAAAAAAY better. I don't know what the hell they did, whether they flashed the ECM or what, but they did something, and my misfire has gone the way of the dodo bird and 8 Tracks. GONE!!!!!!!
Now, I still have the rest of my lights, but this misfire was the main problem.
Maybe it's fixed, maybe it's just temporary, but I know what the problem is, or at least was.
I gotta go, I'm late for work.

Sorry, got sidetracked.
"as the old saying goes, never look a gift horse in the mouth. Don't try to explain such good fortune."
I like that saying. I am just going to go with it, and move onto the next thing on the list, an oil change. Then, after that, I'm going to try and get this transmission patch to stop leaking. The fill and drain plugs are leaking too. I wonder what the hell that is about.
After that, I want to get my SLS working. The compressor works fine, found that out when it mysteriously started working the other day.
Then, I'm free and clear.
