C63 amg misfiring
Gents, need some advice . I recently had redone my exhaust and software tuning . We tested it and ran with pump gas and everything was looking good. No issues . We had a drag event so I did as I usually do. Filled up with a race mix on the morning whilst going to the track . 10 km on running , my engine light flickers yellow and the car started misfiring and also idling high and then low. We plugged in the dashdaq diagnostics when I got to the track and it showed misfire on cylinder 8. We cleared the code and car was perfect for 1 run and thereafter the engine light back on and now misfire on cylinder 6,7 and 8. I ran the fuel out and filled up with normal pump gas and after a few km , the misfiring again. I don't know if it was the fuel since that was the only thing changed, however why didn't the problem now go away when I put normal pump gas. I ran race mixed fuel before and had no problem . Any ideas or suggestion .

Lead in fuel??
Pull plugs.
Probably time for new plugs and primary o2 sensors.
Car runs closed loop 24/7. Your o2s are probably shot from the exhaust work and race fuel.

Well you have done 3 things, exhaust, software tune and then changed the fuel.
Pull the plugs probably original and should show signs lean, rich, gap not right, burnt tip.
Go back to the tune and look for the answer there.

I have the same issue of misfires on cylinders 6, 7 and 8. Car drove perfect to work and then started it up and instantly had the bad idle and drove bad.
I took it straight to the dealer and got service B performed at 77K miles and had them check on what is causing the bad idle/limp mode. The tech said compression is good, swapped coils and that did nothing.
He also unplugged the MAF sensor on the driver side (left) and I did as well and the car idles and drives like normal. I swapped MAF's and still get the misfire on 6, 7 and 8 so that rules out the MAF.
Should I try new spark plugs? Not sure if I need to change O2's since I did not get any faults regarding this and I have a Eurocharged tune ignoring the readings.
Thx

Do you happen to know the primary 02 sensor part numbers for both sides? Made by bosch I assume.
