Hey, everyone!
I had an issue with Beauty this morning.
Drove her about ten miles and had to slow down in traffic. When she got moving again, the engine started skipping and running rough. The check engine light started flashing and the I think she went into limp mode because she would hardly move. Drove about three blocks or so to an Advance Auto and checked her with their computer.
The computer came back with several things:
1) Random cylinder misfires.
2) Misfire cylinder 4
3) Misfire cylinder 1
3) P1255 code that the computer had no DTC definition for.
After all of that, she started up again and drive back home perfectly. (We grabbed my mom's truck to do the stuff we wanted and needed to do.)
Btw, when I restarted her to get the codes, the check engine light stopped flashing and went to steady on. It has stayed on as did not clear the codes in case I needed to have a mechanic work on her.
Getting back home, I looked up the P1255 code and it refers to coolant sensor/thermostat issues and I can't figure out how this all might be connected. I am wondering/hoping if this might have been a fluke with nothing more to worry about, or if something with the coolant sensor/thermostat might have caused the engine misfire and need replacing.
Anyone got any ideas about could be going on?
Thanks!
