I'd like to say hi as I am new to this forum.
My problem is kinda strange. I Last year about this time I started getting the check engine light but due to being unemployed I ignored it for about 2 months. Shortly after the engine started misfiring and that's when all hell broke loose.
First - I realized that the rubber air hose was almost completely in half, so I replaced it and the air filter (while I was at it).
Second - The misfire/check engine problem was not really going away and I realized that the oil was low and the valve cover gasket was leaking. So I replaced the VCG along with the spark plugs, wires, and coil packs.
Third - Check engine light went and misfire problem disappeared for about 1 month. But now I'm still losing oil at the rate of 1 quart per month (with high mileage oil), the check engine light is back on (Code: Warm-up Catalyst Below Threshold Bank 1), and it seems like it might be slightly misfiring on the highway at high speeds.
- I have a manual with 112000 miles.
- There is no oil on the ground nor is there any smoke coming out at any time. I have been watching it during cold start and intermittently while driving.
- Otherwise the car seems to be driving fine...
PLEASE ADVISE!!!
