Hello all,
My SES light came on yesterday and got the codes read today, "P1346 Misfire during start cylinder 3". The engine runs fine and seems to have no problems or rough idle. I removed spark plug #3 and seems to be okay, however when doing this i noticed small amounts of oil on my valve cover near cylinders 4-6. Do you guys think that an old valve cover gasket could cause oil to seep into the spark plugs and contribute to this code? Or is it probably just a bad coil/spark plug? Also, how long will it take for the SES light to turn off if the engine doesn't misfire again?
it has 120k and is 2001 325ci
your help is much appreciated
