Stubborn P303 code
2011 R55 base (non-S) with 186K. Getting sporadic P303 codes for #3 misfire, Switched all plugs and coils from 1.2.3.4 to 4.3.2.1 to try to see if the problem moved.... no such luck. Dealership did a leakdown about 25K miles indicating possible leak on #3 intake valve. Light randomly pops on startup, but not consistent, and never while driving. Tried Seafoam to the tank and spray through throttle body but hasn't resolved these sporadic occurrences (maybe 1/5 starts). Does not affect performance, no stumbles on acceleration and no adverse affect on mileage. Not looking to spend $2K+ for head work to resolve a sporadic light. Ideas?
