2014 Sport with 80,000 miles. Use top tier, 93, octane fuel. Synthetic oil changes every 5k. Airrad intake.

Under light acceleration, at highway speeds, it misses a bit. You tip into the throttle enough to accelerate, but NOT enough to downshift. That's when I feel it missing just a bit. No CEL and no codes I can find.

With 80k, I suspect the plugs are at the end of their life and need to be replaced.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Shumax
 






It could be the plugs although the recommended change interval shown in the Manual is 100k miles. Have you noticed a drop in fuel mileage? I suppose it could also possibly be a problem with the throttle body.
