Misfire Count: Ultra Healthy or Just Typical?

[DemoFly]

This post is BITOG in its worst form: everybody has something to say, nobody knows the answer

That’s rude to say about the people who know and said the correct answer.

...china cannot produce auch technology but looks like the americans sold it to the chinese after they have decided to pivot to only trucks and suvs

Yes, China can't produce an engine if their life depended on it - it's not like they can build anything but harmonicas and silk fans, that's why they import all their TVs and have only 150 car brands. So they needed a 1.5l engine bad, and went for THE BEST OF THE BEST - a GM made 4 cyl 1.5 .
Come on man...

As for your misfires - how old are your spark plugs ?
With my spark plugs at end of life I had misfires logged in my scanner - no issues whatsoever. I have zero misfires with the new ones though, maybe one per trip, vs plenty per trip with the old one.

It is clearly a secret. Something Chinese, with something GM. With a GM engine similar to other GM's with GM engines.

American taxpayer dollar technology via Government Motors, handed over to our largest competition for shareholder benefit.

This is called "brain storming" and is an effective road to finding a solution, at least in my experience. You certainly have nothing to contribute

Please. You don’t brainstorm your way to Avogadro’s number.

Probably a Chinese Buick .

For misfire codes and counts to appear, there is a huge juggernaut of variables that are detected, and all the sensors and associated electronics have to be working perfectly together. So really just because there are a few erratic misfire counts here and there that doesn't always mean there is some huge issue, there are so many variables in a running engine, especially in the combustion space, its just not a perfect place for everything to happen PERFECTLY at every cycle, could have been some intake carbon broke off bridged the electrodes, anything like that. Maybe driving conditions caused a surge of sorts, water from fuel, the sensors and programing isn't perfect either, look at all the recalls for programming issues. A few occasional random misfires is a huge nothing burger.

Did this help tom young? About no one knowing the answer?

even driving over a bump can register a "misfire"

What you posted is what's called MODE 6 data. You can use it as a guideline only.

With any misfire - the basic still applies.

Check if it's a spark, fuel or compression problem and then report back.
