After work intended to address a misfire counter rising on one cylinder, repeat the original conditions in a safe place and check whether the symptom returns. Record whether the count rises at idle, acceleration, or only when warm. Record the result before clearing codes or resetting adaptations.
Follow the maker’s procedure for drive cycles and readiness monitors. Inspect the relevant plug, coil connection, and recent work using the maker’s procedure. If the issue remains, return to the evidence instead of swapping another part.
