I was driving to prom 2 days ago and accelerating hard when the check engine light started flashing. I immediately knew what it was doing so I pulled over and got out my OBDII reader to see what was misfiring. Both cylinders 1 and 8 had misfire codes and there was another one that said something about the manifold. In my stupidity I erased the codes to see if the problem would happen again instead of writing them down first. The only one that happened again was Cylinder 1 misfiring. The other 2 codes have yet to show up. It only does it under hard acceleration but if I take it slow it's fine. I've had misfiring problems before with the 8th cylinder due to oil caked on to it. I put on new spark plugs/wires/rotor/cap less than 1000 miles ago. I normally check my codes every now and then because I don't have any O2 sensors and those keep the light on.
