Odd problem, simple solution
A couple of weeks a go, I went to go for a drive, started her up and she was running rough. A few seconds later, the CEL popped on. Now I know I have a bad cat, so that's not so unusual, the rough idle was.
Connected my OBD2 adapter and it was throwing a CYL 5 misfire code. Shut it down and since I have 92k on the clock and had a cyl 3 missfire about a year ago, I figured it was a coil pack going bad. I ordered a new one online and went to put it in last night and when I check the coil pack, both bolts were missing! It was also loose.
Pushed it in, found a pair of bolts from the last one I replaced and guess what??? Runs just like it is supposed to.
Now I have a spare coil pack for my track box right next to my spare ABS sensor
