Rocker Position Sensor failed, giving a Check Engine Light and violent loss of power during acceleration. Shop replaced the sensor. |
| 127000 mi US $200 |
I replaced the spark plugs and all four coil packs. Valve clearances were tighter than specification after only 30,000 miles. Engine misfired in cylinders 1 and 2 and tripped CEL, and replacing coil packs did not alleviate symptoms. Engine was misfiring on cylinders 1 and 2, triggering CEL. |
| 139000 mi | #4 coil pack failed, causing misfires. All four coil packs were replaced less than a year prior. I got the part replaced at no cost under the part warranty (I believe the replacement coil pack was defective). |
