Mis Fire
Guys,
I have an 06 Z06, Twin Turbo E85 car.
When I start the car she runs rough... indicating multiple mis-fire... after she heats up she lines out and runs smooth. I've got brand new wires, plugs with 200 miles on them.... I cant figure out what is causing this.
any pointers appreciated.

Are you just getting a P0300?
Also very curious.....did this problem begin before the new plugs and wires, or was that an attempt to repair it?

Also I noticed you 2 threads regarding the misfire?
With a scanner you should be able to see each cylinder and see with one(s) are giving you the most misfires. it will be helpful to see

I can not pull any codes with a hand held scanner. when I get access to HPT i'll try again. It's indicating multiple mis-fire, not a particular cylinder... that's what I thought the flashing engine light indicates at least. It did this before I put on the new wires or plugs... replacing those was a part of my elimination and isolation plan.....

You say it won't pull codes.. but also say it indicates multiple misfires?

he assumes that because it's a flashing light. he'll have to read all cylinders and watch the misfire count in real time with a proper scanner. I have had multiple cases where I would have never figured out the problem on customers cars because codes weren't' coming up yet a misfire was more than obvious
