LESS THAN 10,000 MILES AGO I HAD THIS CAR TUNED UP. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS STAYED ON INTERMITTENTLY SINCE THEN. I HAD IT SCANNED 1/19/08 AND IT IS SHOWING MISFIRE ON 1-2-& 3. IT COST $400.00 FOR A TUNE-UP AND A SUBSEQUENT $200.00 TO HAVE A GASKET THAT WAS LEFT OFF REPLACED. WHAT ELSE COULD BE THE PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE.
I SHOULD ALSO NOTE THAT WITHIN 2 WEEKS FROM TUNE-UP DATE THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP 5 TIMES CODING AS MISFIRE ON 3.

It could be another vacuum leak on that bank or the same leak all over again. Hope this helps
