Also if it were me I would like to know the exact casue of the misfire before I spent money on a "tune up" that realistically may not solve the misfire issue it developed "all of a sudden". I realize that the tune up may be needed as a maintenance standpoint but I don't feel comfortable having it done while trying to solve a misfire unless it has been proven that the misfire is a direct result of a faulty plug or wire....just trying to help, I have seen to many of my customers taken for rides in this type of scenario by shops that they used to go to.</p></blockquote><p></p>
