Default What is cause of miss . . .

Our 2004 Pontiac Bonneville GXP has developed a low speed miss. It is particularly noticeable when
the engine is cold. It seems to miss only at idling speed and is worse before the engine warms up.
The miss goes away when you load the engine under acceleration. At only 36000 miles it shouldn't
need a major tune-up. I am guessing a dirty fuel injector. Any ideas appreciated.

Try the cheap fix first.

Add two cans of Berryman's B-12 FI cleaner to about 20 gallons of
gas and run that through the system.

If this solves the problem you may want to start buying your gas
at another station.
