New Sedan From Chinese Auto Manufacturer

Now I again have a misfire (at 85K). However, it has not set a code and occurs at light load and partial throttle. I am using copper plugs in place of the platinum called out in the Owner's Manual; I change plugs much sooner than manual recommendations. It is also time to replace the gas line filter. It's my understanding that the misfires are counted and a code set if the number exceeds a certain threshold and the engine is in "closed loop mode". This has been going on for several weeks. Flooring the throttle produces max acceleration with no noticeable shake or miss. I'm going to attach my computer/scan tool and see if I can record anything unusual in the data. Any suggestions on a possible cause?

If you purchased your car from a dealership, you can also take it there for the diagnostic test. However, the dealership may charge a fee for the test and the needed repair work may be more expensive there if your car is not under warranty. Some Functions of Automobile Parts stores also offer free diagnoses, but they may not diagnose the problem correctly if the scan tool detects several different fault codes.

Taking care where you walk is definitely a good idea. junk yards have pre-cleared paths that should be safe to walk on, but if you start wandering off between piles of junk, you could step on something or injure yourself.

A much better idea is the use of HHO to power your car. The conversion kit is a simple do it yourself concept. You'll have to get the plans or blueprints off the internet, but don't worry. Their popularity makes them easy to find. Cost for the plans will run from around $50 to $100. Most of the plans offer good technical support should you run into difficulties following the blueprints. The necessary parts are available at any hardware or auto parts near me for another $50 or so. For under $100 you can have your own hybrid car!

Even the clamps, some are permanent and can't be opened and reused, others require special tools to loosen. There can be a number of hurdles for the do-it-yourself car owner to work through.
