I have Check Engine Light pop up every now & then. Pulled about half a dozen codes with my scanner (some were about a cylinder misfire). Last time had it towed to a shop who tells me there’s nothing wrong. For now the lights are gone but am sure they’ll be back

If you have a question about those codes, please post them along with how many miles are on this engine and maybe we can help.

@BeenThere216 I suggest you post this in a new thread in the Maintenance/Repair category. Not too many people check the Ask Someone Who Owns One section, and then we won’t have conflicting answers between you and the OP

I have to wonder if this is an answer to the original question under a different username. The answer lines up with the make/model in the subject line, and sure enough, seven codes.

Didn’t think of that…it does matchup rather nicely 🤔
