Mine was coding for misfire on cyl 5. You could hear the misfire in the exhaust. I replaced all the old coil packs with NGK (made in Germany) and twin tip iridium plugs. From Rock & Roll Auto, btw.

Codes are gone, audible misfire is gone. Ol Ferdie would be happy with the way it's running!

Nothing quite like a comprehensive, expensive tune up!
