phantom CEL

My CEL flashes in third gear around redline but there's no code. I know flashing CEL indicates misfires, but not enough apparently to throw a code. I've tried replacing my MAF and spark plugs, but still no luck. Since I don't know which cylinder is misfiring, i swapping things won't really help.

I've had this problem for over 2 years now and things haven't gotten better or worse.

Any ideas?

Kevin

Cracked coil? Have you looked at the individual coils that attach to the plugs?

Pull the OBDcodes, a flashing CEL will leave a pending code. It should tell you which Cylinder is misfiring, etc.
