Default Got a code - P1353 Front Cylinder No Combustion EFI

Today I was out for a ride and for the first time, my check engine light came on and went off a number of times. when I got home and in to my garage, It was not lit.

I pulled the codes from the speedo and I got 1 code - P1353 Front Cylinder No Combustion EFI.

From my search I found that a loose plug nipple, bad wire or bad spark plug are the most common causes. I did find that my front cylinder plug nipple was un screwed about a 1/4 of a turn. I tightened it, and cleared my codes, and ran it about 20 miles or so. The code had not returned, but I noticed at start up, I had a miss or 3, but then it ran normal, and did not produce a light or code.

Should I be worried about the 1 time start up miss? anything else I should check out?

What Wild Card said. You found the issue causing the code. Ride it and forget it. I had the same issue and code on a 2004. I didn't seat the front plug wire properly when I changed the plugs.
