so i finally got my new motor in car and got her running on the road.
but after first 40 miles ive noticed my car is sputtering and sounds like an STI (not good). i looked on my ecm link and played with it turns out my number two cylinder is misfiring. i changed plugs to recommended (br7es) NGK my nology wires are fine so is my coilpacks and injectors. we did a quick compression check and it was around 150 on that cylinder and idk if its to early to panic or not.
my tech told me the rings could have possibly not sealed yet and i need to drive it a bit more, but i dont know if its that simple any ideas would help out alot ... car has only been ran 40 miles since rebuild.
