Hey all,
2012 Ody here, 153,000 miles.
Several months ago my Ody was noticeably misfiring in cylinder 1 - I could actually sense it when the car was idling before it threw a code.
I read up on VCM muzzles here, installed one, and then put all fresh plugs in and changed the oil.
The car has been running great since then, I don't see the Eco light coming on, and I don't hear a misfire. However, it threw the same P0301 code yesterday when I was driving!
My understanding is that the cylinder could have been damaged by the VCM and now is still allowing oil to get in there and foul the plug. My question is - what should I do next?
I was hoping to drive this car another 100,000 miles - do I need to take it to the shop for a compression check / valve job? Or should I just reset the code and see if it throw another one, since I can't hear/feel the misfire like before (maybe it's a fluke this time?)
Thanks in advance!
