Random Misfire in Cylinders code
Anybody get this code yet? I know some causes for it but I also know that the misfire code can come on even without a misfire. Anybody get this light and had it checked out?

I did notice that when I got this code it was humid as **** outside. I think I narrowed my particular case down to either running lean in the humidity (SAFC), bad gas, or not torquing down the plugs to spec (18lbs).

I replaced the plugs and tq them down to 12 lbs. I went back and tq them down to 18lbs after I had the same cel 3 separate times. Haven't had a cel since but its also cooler weather.

I had this CEL code also. The dealer called techline and they said it's the first time they heard of it on a car this early (1200 miles). I have no mods on the car. The CEL came on when I was going WOT on a humid wet day. They tell me that it happens when I hit the rev limiter (did not). They cleared the code and told me to come back if it happens again. Hasn't happened again but I haven't driven my car hard yet.

I have this code right now. I have a pretty serious boost leak(see thread) and the boost leak caused it. I an clear it and then go for a beat run and when the boost actually leaks the light comes on and I have to clear it again. This is a very univercal FC though and could be caused by many things.
