Default Anything to worry about this DME?

Not sure what the ignition counter misfire of ~2800 means?

This is a .2 GT3 RS.

Thanks all!

Not sure what that^ means but with 38 over revs only in range one it appears to be a very clean DME. Those over revs happened 54 engine hours ago but even if recent, range one is not a concern (from what I've learned).

I didn't see an explanation of ignition counter misfire here, but there's good info about over-revs.

I'd probably call Duane and ask for an education.

Good luck

dme is fine

you'll get an CEL if the misfires are a concern.

you can clear the memory and track them with a durametric under acceleration etc. could have just been bad gas, hot day, etc. Or could be a coil or plug nearing end. Or could have been nothing.

thanks for the feedback; worries me a bit since car is not CPO.

I wouldn't sweat the misfires. As mentioned any issues will trigger fault codes. Check for stored ones. Also common failures are easily fixable. I would just monitor it.
Other than that clean dme.

Would consider replacing ignition coils or at least be aware they are most likely source of misfires

with no engine codes yet they are still serviceable
