[JDM_CTR_EK9]

constant misfiring throughout all forward gears....poor drivability....incorrect spark or firing throughout all cylinders....as for misaligned timing...same as all the others i just mentioned...as well as hard start, poor throttle response...possible more damage to engine components depending on how much timing is off
