Here recently, it has gotten worse. It's now everytime I have started the car. Now I got an engine light saying there is a cylinder misfire. Forgot what cylinder, but when I put the car in gear, the revving stops or when I turn something on such as the AC. So I know it's definitely not the spark plugs or the wiring cause those are for sure good. So my guess is, could it be a bad coil or injector? Thanks!
How aggressively do you drive your Mirage? There are those that say trying a "Italian tune up" wouldn't hurt either. With the small displacement of the 1.2 I'm thinking running it aggressively from time to time definitely would not be harmful. Not that revving it up to 6000rpm on a regular basis would be advisable but a little WOT operation every now and then wouldn't hurt.
