This problem manifested itself on a 90 mile trip. It went from a slight hesitation, to full blown rough idling and service engine soon light in the last 50 miles of that trip.
1) I am assuming it is not the carbon build up causing this because it wouldn't cause catastrophic problems within 50 miles, right? It would take a few weeks, with misfires random at first, and hitting all the cylinders, not just Cylinder 6 like I am experiencing.
2) I am thinking now that it is probably the injector for Cylinder 6, does this sound right?
3) I did install the BMS OCC the day before the trip, but it was such a simple install, and I dont think messing with the PCV valve would cause a misfire right? Maybe I knocked the injector cable loose, when I installed, it since it does get installed right by Cylinder 6.
Anyone got any ideas?
