    Random Misfire Code Under Hard Acceleration

    Hey Magicka, thanks for the reply. No smoke at idle...everything was done by a mechanic so I'd have to get clarification from them..I know the plugs are NGK Laser Iridium Spark Plug though.

    new job..lots of travel, what to do with car?

    Getting the extended warranty if I keep it is a good idea, I didn't think about that. If I do decide to trade the Speed for something a more comfortable to drive..any recommendations? Something Automatic, decent mpg, new or used say around $25k and under. Civic Si didn't look bad but no...
