Had car for 3k miles and already a problem.....Misfire
VSA / exclamation sign / and check engine all come up, ECU gives misfire code. But car drives fine and does not misfire. I reset ECU, but today after about a week same thing happened.....
checked oil....good, car is 2006 and only has 33k miles, its also 100% stock....
What can be the problem ? Should I bring it to dealer or is there a quick fix (probably will) ? I dont want to just reset ECU this time since it seems to me there is something wrong, not just false ECU light

brakes and fluid are good. all 3 come up at the same time. i am pretty sure that VSA and "!" are not the problem. Its that check engine that worries me. If car had 60-80k miles, I would suspect coil packs and plugs, but with 33k miles.....maybe defective ?

If the check engine light comes on, VSA is automatically disabled. Thats why the ! light is on.
I would move the spark plug and coil pack from cyl number 1 to number 2, and see if the misfire moves to number 2.
See if plug 1 looks different than the others.
Make sure you have a torque wrench for the plugs if you cannot tighten them properly by hand. loose plugs can destroy the engine.
