Could it be the oil and filter needs changed?
Or is the VVT cam Phaser Solenoid letting the valve not seat not properly closing the valve
Burnt valve?
Broken valve spring?
piston rings gummed up?
Under half to full throttle it doesn't miss a beat and pulls good
When started it runs smooth for about 30 seconds and then starts the misfire with MIL on.
Replaced coil packs and ACDelco Iridium spark plugs at .043 Gap, runs the same afterwards.
Bad injector ?
Need help with this
