I want to say a miss (plug not firing every time), but that's just me. Messed with your plugs or wires lately? If so - might be it. If not...hmmmm.

Do we have such an offer in Canada guys? (Napa/Lorco/Fortins???) Since we don't have such a fine establishment as AutoZONE, dundundunnnnnn.

Oops, well maybe another place would have it. I didn't see the Canada thing. Try some of the other auto parts and care places. But not the dealer, he's charge 60 bucks just to read the CEL. 60 buck'll get you about 1/3 of the tool needed to read the damn thing.
