Unhappy Misfire when cold engine? Warranty almost over!

Hi motorers,


Since one week, my little MCS had some problems in the morning, or after not running for a while... It sounds like it's missing gaz for the first 5 minutes of driving and really drives strange... engine is stumbling, at RPM has a hard time to go up...

This morning, it was worst, the Check Engine Light started to flash and stayed on after 1 minute.... So I pulled off in a small parking lot, and I checked that CEL with my OBD reader, it was a Misfire Cylinder 4... I cleared the codes, started the engine again, and everything was fine...


What is the problem with my MCS? I'm now at 79500km, at my warranty is almost over... I would really appreciate any help! Could it be my spark plugs, which are still good for another 10 000km (Accel spark plugs from the Pilo ignition kit) Or something more expemsive, and I should take a last appointment at my dealer before warranty is over?

Thanks a lot!
