Misfire Question

Post by Luski »

Just got my tuner and began tuning my 2017 v6 Accord Coupe, however I have a few knocks (it's low and I read knock count is what really matters - which actually stays below .30 most of the time which is also surprising considering I saw the average being .5... but I'll take it, unless that's a false reading) but I also have misfires on cylinders 2 4 5 and 6, I read on one forum post that this is correlated to the knock count and don't represent actual misfires unless a CEL appears and multiple misfires/knocks are occuring in succession. This hasn't happened but still a worrying sight to me. Is this normal? Thank you in advance!

If you take into account how many ignition events happen per second, hundreds in a short period may signify an issue.

Thank you, so the misfires are not indicative of an issue? Just false positives from the knock count?

They're noise that the ECU has counted toward a total knock count.
