Engine misfires...anyone experience?
I've got a 2005 4.4i with approximately 33,000 miles on it. I've had three check engine lights in the last month. They keep diagnosing the problem as "engine misfires".

Anyone have misfire problems? They can't determine what the cause is...car's still at the dealership.

Suggestions??

No...not misfiring at start. I actually haven't noticed anything at all...other than a yellow check engine light.

weird, huh?
