Re: Ideas as to why I get misfires on cyl 4,5,6 but not 1,2,3?
I have the same problem, but mostly with cylinder 5. I posted something back on May 19, but no one seemed to have any ideas, even you. My car 01.5, has been in the shop for a month this time and they can't find anything to fix it. They have changed or checked everything re:ignition and fuel system. I'm currently waiting for them to replace the head, but I'm not optimistic that that will fix it. I've noticed that the vacuum at idle is low 18.5", and sometimes it seems to run better than normal. Gas mileage is low, max=22mpg at steady 75 mph, though 1 1/2 years ago, mileage was 25+ on highway. How many other people have this problem?

Sorry to hear that you haven't had any progress...
Can you give a list of exactly what the dealer has checked/replaced? I'm trying to keep tabs on everything that could be causing this problem.
Also, are you an M-box?

Unfortunately, I never saw the plugs before the dealer replaced them...
Unfortunately, I don't have the tools/time/expertise to look at engine components myself (beyond changing the DVs and TBB). This is why I remain Stage I-II and have the dealer do most of the work. Still, your suggestion is important and so try to take a look myself. What tools do I need for the plugs? I'll STFA.
