I don't think I've ever mentioned this before, as it's always been pretty easy to diagnose the problem....but it's getting repetitive. I drove my 2003 P5 across town yesterday morning until about noon without any problem at all. My daughter came over to visit, and we needed to run to the store. So we got in the car and noticed a very rough idle. It was shaking and seemed like it was going to stall at low RPMs. A familiar symptom with a familiar problem. Cylinder 2 misfire. We switched the coil packs, and then it read cylinder 4 misfire.
The thing is, I just replaced the plugs and wires at some point last year, and I know I've replaced the coil packs, plugs, and wires since I've owned the car in the past 4 years. This seems like a too-frequent maintenance thing, but this keeps happening! For the record, I get the oil changed pretty regularly and I don't drive it hard (other than general speeding...not racing kind of driving)
Could this be a sign of something major being wrong?
