I missed that part. How was the SES light on, but no codes showed up?

The color is Dover White Pearl - Mitsubishi color code W69

 

I thought that was weird too! Even wierder, today on my way to my show the engine light had turned off again so no codes now. Hmm maybe I should go get it checked for codes again... the idle is pretty bad now and I have to rev it a little quite often to keep it running but it tuns great other than the idle thanx about the color!

 

so in review the car runs awesome but only th idle is crappy. ses is not on now. i can go pay 90 bux for diagnosis at pep boys or i could try to figure out wut pert is bad. any suggestions? any way i can truly test t
different parts like iac coil packs etc?

 

sorry bout my typos lol

 

well latest update is on my way home from my show the engine light was back on again. Maybe if I get it checked, the codes will show up this time. I might buy my own code reader lol

 

Hmm I thought I posted this yesterday but I checked the post this morning and it wasnt here.
Anyway, I got a code reader from autozone and scanned my car. I think pep boys was maybe lying about the free code scan they did cuz they immediately told me there were no codes and they should do a full diagnosis for 89.99

When I scanned it, I got one code only, a P0300 which in my book that came with the scanner, means random engine misfires.

Well, sounds like one or both of the coil packs to me but still I wish I could test them before I buy them lol. Anybody in Los angeles with a 2005 strat I could try the coils on mine to see if that is the problem? lol

wow, after doing some googling, I guess a multiple misfire P0300 code can be many different things so I still dont know much about what is causing the code and rough idle

 

Hmm maybe Ill try this -

I have a set of used coil packs I'm selling for pretty cheap. One for $25 shipped, or both for $45 shipped. They were in good working order when removed.

I did a motor swap for a friend and kept all the parts from the original motor.

Let me know if you want to go that route.

 

wow that sounds great im gonna test them today ill let ya know thanx man! ill prolly buy them from ya
