Good morning, folks. After a week of inability to diagnose the problem, the only local dealer says a misfire in cyl 6 is caused by a faulty lifter & propose a $4K solution, $900 of which is parts that the factory may or may not cover. That diagnostic delay makes me wary, as does the recent history. The check engine light came on 2 months ago, I took it in, and the dealer claimed it needed coils and plugs ($900) which I paid for. Less than 250 miles later, the check engine light comes on, I take it in, and after the puzzling delay, this is what they now claim. I just don't have confidence that they were correct the first time, nor this time.

I saw in a British group discussion that somebody had a similar problem, and an oil flush unstuck a lifter, but no further details. Anybody know/heard/ willing to chance a guess? Any suggestions as to how to get the dealer to stand behind this latest diagnosis? Thanks in advance for any help at all. Larry Dodd, Baton Rouge, Louisiana
