I data logged my 2003 mustang yesterday just driving around town and logged the MISCYL PID for all 8 cylinders using my SCT Xcal2 and Live Link. For the 12min of driving I did I didn't physically notice any misfires but there are random numbers in the datalog from 0 to 60,000 for these PIDs. Majority are 0 but occasionally numbers show up, appears to be random. Can anyone tell me what these numbers mean? Is it something to worry about?

just the xcal glitching and freaking out
SCTs datalogging is horrible in comparison to datalogging with a quarterhorse, you can very easily convert your tune over and use a QH with the free custom tuning software below

Ok thanks for the info, what would actual misfires show as in the data log, I assume just single digit numbers?
correct, it should be single cylinders and incrementing casually each time the cylinder misfires, i have a drewtech cable i use to poll the misfire TIDs, its usually a test that lasts a few moments to see which cylinder is misfiring. Ive personally only found it to be useful when yu have a random hard stumble, otherwise if you have a cylinder or more dead as in coils unplugged or failed then the engine inertia is so low that a misfire isnt likely to be calculated
