And thatâs why the cute little iron that works fine on a bench suddenly turns your splice into a cold, crusty joke. Affiliate disclosure: This
Most people still treat a misfire like it’s 1998: “It’s shaking, so it must be a spark plug.” Sometimes you get lucky. Most times, you just waste money. Modern engines don’t misfire in isolation.
