Vehical has a code for cylander 4 misfire. This causes my remote start to not work and the vehical is running rough. New spark plugs did not fix the problem. For a two year old vehical it should be reliable but I find myself relying on my 88 s10 more than our two year old van. Reading up on the 3. 6l engine I am concerned that it may have the problem with the cylinder head as with many other caravan 3. 6l but my vintage is somehow not affected. I can reset the code and drive but as soon as I park the code comes back.
