Car stalled twice and is misfiring at idle after warmed up

Hey

Does the N flash six this? My car stalled twice now at a red light just idling. I have the M flash and 18,000 miles in a 6spd.

Do you have an aftermarket intake installed on the car?

Did it stall right after each other, or did some time pass between stalls?

Sorry to hear the trouble -- no problems here, and still have the 'm' flash.

if you don't have an intake, I would, get the N flash, run some good redline fuel injector cleaner through the car, and you prolly need to change your spark plugs now as well. See if that helps.

Mis fire is normal. It's called a rough idle.

If it's really misfiring, could be the gas.

Mine has "N" and new plugs (w/ redesigned leading). Is very smooth now.
Previously idle was rough.
