chris now don't you think that i would have checked it. it came on randomly as i was doing 110km/h down deerfoot. no driveability issues so it can't be that bad.

your a funny guy jase lol. i'll remember that the next time i see you. but all jokes aside i scanned it and it was a random misfire. so i cleared it and if it comes on again then i'll have to book it in but until then she's all good at the moment.

i do keep it in tip top shape and the moment anything goes wrong with it i get it fixed so i dunno the code that was stored only said random misfire so i dunno. but like i said it's cleared and hasn't come back on yet so it can't be that bad but if it happens again its going into the shop.

that sucks. but elec if you don't disconnect the battery the code is still stored so if you take it in and get them to scan it they will be able to find it - assuming they know what they are doing.
