Default C7 misfire


C7 stingray has a misfire problem….. Car shutters when I hit the gas, like it has a bad plug or something…. I’ve changed the spark plugs and wires. I thought it was the transmission, had it flushed by the dealership….I even changed a couple of coil packs…. It does it when I mash the gas,but not alll the time.Seems like it does it when switching in an out of v4 mode, it hard to explain ..any help thanks

You need to pull the codes. Could give you more insight. I've had cracked spark plug insulators cause misfire, as well as bad injectors. Pull codes may tell you which cylinder or provide other areas to look.

I agree other than taking it to a shop that can put her on a machine to tell you what hole is not working good. Robert

Based on your description that the misfire seems to occur when switching AFM modes, you may want to have the car checked for the issue noted in the attached GM sevice bulletin. Symptoms sure sound like the AFM issue noted in the bulletin.
