Air Density
I have an 02 WRX turbo. Last year the check engine light came on for 2-3 cylinders misfiring, and would not go away. I have had service afeter service trying to track down the cause. My mechanic thinks it needs $600 valve adjustment. This made sense to me only this winter as the temperature was consistently under 40 degrees F, the light went off. My spidey senses told me that the cold air coming in was more dense and therefore my burn was better, and the misfire was not occurring. a valve adjustment would hopefully resolve the air flow issue.
This week the temp is starting to warm up again, and the check engine light came back on. I am sure I will get the misfires. I bought the car in Calif, and used 93-94 octane, and put 100 octane in every few months. I moved to Missouri 2 years ago an continue to use 93 octane (no one sells 100 out here ). The fuel out here IS different though, but I dont know how. I am wondering if the valve adjustment makes sense to anyone else or if anyone else had this problem. Alternatively what is a good aftermarket proiduct to make the air coming in more dense/colder. thanks
