'97 LHS with Check Engine Light Code #43

[Piper1]

My "Check Engine" light is coming on and staying on. I perform the routing to have my internal CPU display the engine codes, and Number 43 is shown.In checking my Haynes Book, this code deals with a gap in dwell and/or timing (or some such thing....very confusing), but all is working fine. I can't seem to erase this code and turn off the "Check Engine" light. What is going on here? Any help would be appreciated.

Code 43 is "Engine misfire in one or more cylinders", since the car is OBD-2 you can get it scanned and the tool will tell you which cylinders are misfiring. You may have a bad plug, bad wire, one of the coils may be bad.

I would try changing the plugs and wires first then see if the light goes away.

Thanks for the help. I was thinking that I would have to replace the coil to begin with, but checking the plugs and wires seemed to be just a tad easier...although replacing the coil seems to be a quick job on this model. I really appreciate the fast response.
