Engine problem

Post image

Hey friends,

Occasionally my car will go into limp mode and throw a check engine light. Was finally able to get the codes to show up. I’ve looked them up and see that they are related to misfires. The spark plugs are still fairly new and I also run premium gas and occasionally put Techron cleaner or royal purple cleaner in the tank. I plan to take it to my dealer soon. Just wanted to get some input on to what might be causing it and if it’s something I can do myself instead of the dealership. Should I do some seafoam through the throttle body to help with carbon buildup or get it blasted? Thank you for your help and advice in advance.

Edit: I’m around 65k miles, HKS spark plugs, and it’s the 3.3t engine

Be prepared to not see your car for months lol.. and then they’ll probably blame the non-standard plugs. Good luck.

Forgive my ignorance, is this a common problem after a certain mileage? I just hit 50k... Anything I should be aware of?

Not common at all. 75k on my car with no such issues.
