[QUOTE="AApple, post: 173910, member: 56"] Well now...hang on a minnit....do you actually FEEL a misfire while driving?? A check engine light coming on while driving doesn't mean imminent failure, and getting stuck on the side of the road. [b]Especially[/b] if it is just a misfire issue. No reason on earth to get worried about not being able to make the trip. Heck, if I worried about it every time one of my vehicles thru a check engine light, I'd never get to go anywhere! :smilie_happy: I wouldn't put off a weekend of fun just for the light coming on like that, but that's just me. Changing the sparkleplugs on the 3 valve Triton engines is a big job.....worse in a van. You never said what engine your van has, so we're all speculating about that. SO....what engine does it have in it, anyway? Let's get that info out there, so we'll know what we're talking about to begin with....it might not be an issue at all. If the vehicle is running ok, all the fluids look good, and there's no funky noises from it anywhere, I'd say you'd be fine on the trip. :yes: [/QUOTE]
