I will run the scanner after I see the light come on again.. and actually Im getting a lot better gas milage, as well as my car is running better, on 93 octane with the timing advanced.

I will talk to them about my EGR, but do you seriously think that would cause a missfire? Havent heard a single thing about that, also remember its only doing it on one Cylinder.

Edit: I was reading on the SR20 forums.. chose to do a quick search (Ive looked about the missfire when it first happen and got crap, even posted here) but I do see one person replaced his EGR valve (did that when I got the car), cleaned his whole EGR and BPT (what is BPT? haha) and so far (he hasnt updated since a little after he did it) it hasnt thrown a code. Tomorrow I will double check with my mechanic, he ended up cleaning everything from the IAC to the TB and so on when it started, so there is a good chance it isnt the EGR, but I will make sure before I go through an actuall engine swap. And to be 100% serious.. I dont feel bad spending nearly $3k on a completely new engine (mostly if its a VE) because it will end up being around 30K miles and I wont have to worry about this stuff for a Long time. The rest of my car (other then none mechanical parts here and there) is in great shape and will last if I keep good care of it.
