OK i started the car this morning and let it warm up. When i went back outside to leave for work the CEL was on Code 71 , 73 and 74. I don't hear anything and the car doesn't stutter at all. what should i do? Could it be bad plugs. I didn't change them when i went turbo. Let m know

Try resetting the ECU. Occasionally when it starts up it'll misfire a little, and throw a code. Try resetting and see if that helps, always works for me.

Rest it twice and about 2 min into the warm up it comes on. What i'm gogni to try and do is reset while the motor is still warm this way i can tell if it's only happening when cold or warm or both.

But what is the cuase of missfiring. Timing? Plugs. Bad A/F Mix?

It's ignition related. Plugs/wires/cap/rotor/coil/igniter.
