I went to a auto store and they ran a diagnostic because the service engine light was on. The reading said that there is an start-up misfire??? What does this mean please?

 

[Mr Mac]

Was it this one?

DTC Code P0316

DTC Code: P0316 Description: Misfire Detected On Startup (First 1000 Revolutions) Probable Causes:

1. Update control unit software - Check for the latest control unit update
2. Powertrain or Engine Control Module faulty
3. Fuel pressure - Pump, regulator, filter or lines
4. Fuel injector(s) faulty
5. Ignition system - Ignition module, coil, spark plugs and wires
6. Fuel system

If so, start with the easy stuff and make sure you have spark and then move up.

Last time I did a fluid/filter change I used Advance Auto Parts DEX III/M and haven't had any issues at all.
