Default Oh thank goodness I'm not alone!!!! Did the agua-missed setup keep the fires under control?

Is the kit manufactured in Mexico... or Spain?

Misfires are the uncontrolled ignition of fuel, either wrong octane, serious carbon problems, anything down to the wrong plugs. If the mixture is lit off too soon, you can burn a piston, break a connecting rod etc. Too late and fuel goes out the exhaust valve and right into your cat. Your answer is probably not the aqua mist injection. I dont know if this guy is taking you for a ride, but you might wanna get a second opinion.

Default lol... He's joking.

"Apparently my car is suffering from momentary cylinder fires which burns fuel" = 4 stroke Internal combustion engine.

My guess is this is a weird gimic of his to say "hey I'm going to install meth/h20 injection."

Default Not only that, but the "misfires" that Audi0s described... aren't misfires...

That's preignition, otherwise called knocking or pinging.
