tried to log my car tonite on 6/10 just uploaded today
on map 3 45additive during the runs I lost power after 5 sec car was misfiring so i read code and its cylinder number 5 and won't go away no matter if I delete code or anything.
please help

update:switched coil number 5 to number one and misfire moved to number 1 so it is the coil.
should i change all 6 coils or just the bad one?plugs have about 3k

just one coil

check if the plug is fouled from all the misfiring

yea but if the plug was fouled wouldn't the misfire remain on cylinder number 5 n not move to 1 when I switched coils?

Im still under cpo and extended maintenance plan n the cbs says I'm due for plugs in about 1000 miles so i just wanna fix my current problem n let the dealer change everything when I go for plugs.
I'm gonna put the bad coil back in rite before I take it to the dealer n let them change then also under warranty.
maybe I can switch the bad coil in multiple cylinders n they'll change all of the when they see the code lol

not saying the plug was causing your misfires. it's just something you may as well check and replace

If u moved the coil from 5 to 1 and then misfire moves to 1 it's the coil but if ur due for maintaince ur fine.

i get your point but im trying to say that if coil caused the misfire which it did and it also fouled plug when i switched coils and not plug the misfire shouldve been on both number 5 original misfire and on number 1 because i moved bad coil to number1.
my test cured number 5 which means only coil was bad n plug is fine since its not misfiring anymore....
thanks for ur help anyways
