Customer Question

Check engine light is on in my 2001 Subaru Outback L.L.Bean due to misfiring in cylinders 1, 3, and 5 (right side only). This is a 6 cylinder with a timing chain. Plugs were replaced and computer reset and the light came right back on. There are no spark plug wires, and I read that the coil packs rarely fail. What could be causing misfires on one side of the engine only? The engine runs smoothly and seems to have power, but I just bought the car used so I'm not sure how much power is normal.  It has 122k miles.  I have the car at Manners Motors in Queens and they are stumped and won't do any more work. I can't afford to take this to the dealer. Thanks in advance.

Hello, and thank you for letting us help you with your automotive question. Can you tell me how many miles are on the vehicle? Are those the only codes that come up?
