Have you ever had the spark plugs changed? First I would take it somewhere and have the engine code read.

3 things to check...... I just went through this recently with my RS.

1. Spark plugs and ensure they or gapped to specs
2. Plug wires check to if they are serviceable this includes fitting properly.
3. Coil pack might be possibly going bad.


#2 is what got me. although my wires looked brand new, which they were pretty much. unfortunately they did not fit properly and it was what was causing my misfires..

Good luck

abunai when I was in Japan meant "danger" or "be carefull". Funny I never heard "abunai" when a schoolgirl (at least 24 years of age) was in my field of vision.
