[QUOTE="Don Bailey, post: 1008973, member: 70124"] Awesome idea! Got in touch with the mechanic and he told me to bring it to him and he would make a warranty claim with AutoZone where he purchased the long block and to expect a week to a week and a half to flip it. I have been getting a #5 misfire P0305 and P0316 code misfire in 1st 1000 rpms and it always had cleared up after letting it sit and warm up a bit. I did take that spark plug out and it was wet in comparison to #6 and I actually believed it to be fuel but didn't smell test it. Now that you said what you said, I am gonna take that plug out again and see if its gas or possibly be just what you said it to be, coolant. The miss always went away and it ran smooth until recently when now it misses the whole time I or my wife drives it. I was assuming that the injector was leaking down and allowing gas to foul the plug after it sat overnight and when I started it that it burned off the gas that was there after shut down and then it ran fine. What would be your opinion on the misfire being caused by coolant and not fuel from a leaking injector? Thanks a lot for your ideas and opinion. :haveabeer: [/QUOTE]
