Random Misfire?

[curtisja]

I got a random misfire code (P1201) once on my 95 nsx does anyone know what that means and what I should do? It only happened once and has not come on since.

thanks

I would not be too worried unless it become more frequent. BTW that is a random misfire in cylinder #1. Could be a coil, spark plug, loose connection, or ignitor, or it could just have been some crappy gas.

HTH,

thanks

The car did have some old gas in it so i am assuming that is it. Thanks for the advice, I will check the plugs and coils just for good measure.

My car ('95 NSX-T) did the exact same thing with bad/old gas. My mechanic gave me some professional strength fuel injector cleaner and it completely went away. He also ordered me to drive my car more often...
Good Luck with yours!
