    I just sold the car... and when the guy got it back home...after two days of owning it..

    he has all 4 cylinder mis fires.. I feel as I should try and help him out.. the car is 99% stock has a turboxs bov.. and its been stock all its life...recently replaced rear 02 sensor, and cat rear

    62k on it..
    he said it came on and went away..
    he changed the plugs .28 gap..
    he said he can feel it through out while driving slow... but as soon as he gets on the gas the car has no mis fires and runs fine...

    advised him to check coils...
    put some fuel injector cleaner seafoam... in the tank
    and check the inlet tube before the turbo and clean the maf...

    any idea what would causing all 4 to mis fire at the same time?

    Possible scam? I think many here would say to just not get involved.

    Plugs or he raced some people on the way home. He bought it as is. Tell him to F$&@ off. Sounds like a scam, much like another member on here. Try to get an insurance claim before the title is transferred. Seriously, stay away or he will try to take you to the cleaners. As in, don even respond.

    I agree. Do not get involved. Some immaturity up in here, though.
