I baby the car really. Rarely rev it hard unless I have too.
Okay here is the fault code:
P0300 – Random/multiple cylinder(s) -misfire detected

Hey guys, I believe this has worked. I poured in Seafoam and now the car doesn't rev anymore or engine light comes on. So far so good!
No sir, I bought it used. At least an old man was the only owner and the only thing wrong was he bumped his fence and dented the driver fender and rear quarter panel for which I popped them out easy! So I was thinking the coils. If not, injectors. But couldn't be cause I ran seafoam through them and cleaned them. Then there is spark plugs. On an another tread here, I put the new NGK in. Lastly, a vaccum leak. Which i don't believe there is one. I wonder if a MAF sensor or throttle body sensor being dirty would cause issues? It's a mystery for sure. I'll get er figured out.
I would think coils would cause a misfire & set a code, clean the MAF & throttle body & with the engine running spray the cleaner around any thing downstream of the throttle body & see if that changes the way it runs. It's a cheep test. Have you tested for a vacuum leak??? You have used "Seafoam" in your tank. In my 35 years as a licenced auto & truck & coach tech, the only thing I find seafoam removes is the money from your wallet. (Lots will argue me... never had it help anything...) Clean the intake & revisit the vacuum leak... Good Luck

Thank you for the comment. Maybe I have wasted money on seafoam after all. But you learn from your mistakes. Well, it wouldn't hurt to try and get some cleaner to see if it helps. I'll give that a try!
