As near as I can find, our computer will pick up a cylinder misfire via the
crankshaft sensor. Matter of fact, when I changed injectors the other day,
I triggered the Check Engine light and it set a code saying that there was
a misfire in cyl. #4. Probably happened when I was purging as much
gas from the fuel line/rail as possible.
As for a dead plug, I don't know. Jim, when he got back from Carlisle, noticed
one of the boots was not tightly snugged on a plug. He figures that he was
running on 7 cylinders. Did not notice as he ran with his exhaust open on
the way back :-) He did not mention that it triggered the MIL.
And I thought only the 4x4s did the crazies :-)
