Default a few error codes...

My car threw these two errors:
P0308 - cylinder 8 misfire
P1316 - injector driver misfire

When i accelerated to leave a parking lot, the car kind of sputtered, which I assume was a misfire.

Any ideas for a possible fix? Can a simple fuel injector cleaning relieve the issue.

I had a tune-up 200 miles ago and had all spark plugs replaced, and a seal inside the engine because it was leaking oil. Thanks-DR

hard to answer. If you just had plugs replaced, maybe gap not correct on cyl 8.
Normally if vehicle needs injector cleaning, will list codes p0301 - p0308
Also, if cam cover gaskets are leaking could have fouled plug. Pull it out and see.

P1316 flags after a misfire code flags. It is for Excess emissions only. Just lets you know it misfired.
