You need to find a mechanic who doesn't diagnose buy guess.

So the repair shop said they will go ahead and replace the air pump and if that doesnt fix it then i don't have to pay for it..

I got my car back and so far runs super!

so check engine light came on again.. misfire on 3...
slows2k was right...

i started to think... The last few times it has been on 3.... I'm going to clear it and see if it comes up with 3 again...

can driving it with misfires cause damage?

Slows2k

yup.

ahh, this is such a hudge issue, it seems nobody really knows whats up. i've had the cel for over a year, i've gone threw everything, i just keep getting the code.

i've ignored it for a year, and i have no issues. everyone seems to end up just throwing tons of money at the car, and still nothing. shrug, if anything starts to go i will just rebuild the head(which means i can get the wifey to ok me spending 2grand on cams/itb's hehe)

Gravity...Slow has told you that your mechanics don't know what they are doing...I told you that your mechanics are don't know what they are talking about. And I gave you a list of things to do to fix the misfire...I didn't pull that list out of my ass...I've been on these boards for 7+ years and I've seen a ton of s2k issues...I'm not always right, but this misfire issue is not that tough to fix.

Please take the advice and post in your local s2ki forum to get a recommendation of a shop that has some s2k experience instead of the newbs you are currently using.

BTW...not trying to be mean or rude. I really want you to get your car fixed so you can get out on the road to enjoy it cuz it has to suck having the thing stuck in the shop 95% of the time.
