Hey guys, hoping someone can help point me in the right direction here..
2008 speed3 - 95k miles.
Took it into a shop to have the spark plugs changed, after the swap a couple days later I went to get on the car (i.e. floored it in 2nd) and it misfired like 3 times. Tested again in 3rd and same thing, as soon as I got on it hard it misfired. Driving it normally it seems perfectly fine, even when I accelerate to higher rpms slowly it's fine. The only time it misfires is when you really push the throttle in.
So I took it back to the shop, they said they tested the plugs and they were fine, double checked and confirmed they were the right plugs and when they pulled the code it said random misfire and because of this they need to do deeper diagnostics which cost $150.
I guess what I am wondering is, does anyone have any idea what this might be? Is it possible they messed up some lines to the intercooler? Could they have gap'd the plugs wrong? Coils in wrong order? I'm really not thrilled about having to spend more money especially just to find out what is wrong..
