Help! Flashing CEL, Rouch Idle
Hey Guys,
Been a long and great journey in my 02 Subie WRX. I have just about 148,XXX, mods are Upipe, Turbo Back, and Cobb Accessport Stage 2 tune. Last night coming back from Oakland, I threw a Flashing Cel, about every 2 minutes it would be Solid, and then start flashing, every once in a while it would go away. This morning I pulled the codes and this is what I got.
P0304 - Cylinder 4 Misfire
PFFFF - have no idea
PFFFE - have no idea
From my research, my options are plugs, coil packs, wires. But it has a pretty rough idle, still runs pretty strong, but I feel like one of my cylinders isn't running. It has been about 30K since my last plug change. I had the whole 105K tune up done then also.
Am I looking at something costly, being unemployed and not having a running car is no bueno for me right now.
Any ideas guys, options, before I take into LIC.
TIA

Just curious what the result of this was. The exact same thing on my 2004 WRX Stage 1 EJ205 on my way to work. The engine had a light rod bearing knock around 147,xxx miles and now it has 174,xxx miles.
