      Had to... the field paint wasn't too professional.

      Anyone know what style these rims are? I really like them.

          Almost done. The fiancée isn't too happy about the paint fumes that are in the entire house now but at least they're painted! :mellow:

              Finally done. Passenger rear is slightly rubbing. I'll let itself do the adjustments.

                          Well smotth running values def indicates cylinders 1 and 2 misfiring at that time. BUt your fault codes show more, and a low fuel level fault also. When does the misfire occur? Id be inclined to either investigate cylinders 1 and 2 or clear all faults, make sure you have more then a 1/4 tank of gas and see what faults return. coils. plugs, injectors could all cause this.

                            Plugs and coils have been replaced recently. Usually #6 always throws a code. The tank was full.

                              I cant believe all the crap you can read off newer control modules.

                              That would drive the OCD crazy with all the faults that come up

                                You have no idea, I bought the scanner that can tap into every module in my e46. It is ridiculous what it will record, "low voltage passenger side mirror" for example. It was a shadow code so it wasn't actively happening. If you unplug anything it will remember. 

                                Gets crazy, and that's on a 2000, imagine what the 2014 cars are like.

                                ...

                                    Clear it, see what happens. Next time it comes on please get a real scanner and print codes. aka gt1 or isid. I mean how easy would it be to have burger run faults for you quick. Also do you have any tuning software on it or stock?

                                      I printed the codes from an autologic(?) Scanner. It comes on right after start up after clearing. I have frank smith software.

                                        Ok so its a present fault. Do all the misfire faults come back? cylinder 1 and 2 could be the culprit and causing the rest to store faults also. What if you remove the software and clear? Easiest thing would be to swap coils and plugs with differenct cylinders just to make sure its not either of them. I know you stated they were new but still. Next would be fuel injectors.

                                          Recently replaced does not mean good. Don't rule something out because its new.
