This is sort of 4x4 related since this thing is AWD right guys?
Anyway, back story first. Shipped the car to Korea back in October. Between sitting at the port and on the boat it sat for two months with less than a quarter tank in it.
Picked it up in the middle of December. Almost immediately started in with a #1 cylinder misfire. Ran some fuel injector cleaner through it and it went away.
Fast forward another month and I had already been in my first fender bender here in Korea. No serious damage to speak of but it sat for 10 days. It drove fine for two days until this morning.
Started it up to a really rough idle and it died. Tried two more times before forcing it to stay running with the skinny pedal. It was running like it was missing on more than one cylinder.
Pull out my phone and scan the codes. Had three codes one for #2 cylinder and one for #4 cylinder misfire and another for multiple cylinder misfire. Decided to clear the codes thinking it wasnt going to do anything but sure enough it started running fine and the codes didnt come back.
My thinking leads me to believe that the low fuel level forced some gunk into the fuel lines but that doesnt explain why the problem went away after only clearing the CEL.
I don't really have a place to work on this for an extended period of time without paying bay fees so I'm hoping for some input before I troubleshoot this.
Also of note my MPG are lower than they have ever been. Used to get 18mpg around town now I'm lucky to get 14mpg.
Sorry for the long winded post but really need some input even if this isn't really a true 4x4. Oh and I miss you guys.
