2fst4u2c

I've searched the forums and I've addressed most of the issues I've found. I just replaced all of the coils (before which I as getting Misfire Cylinder 1 and Misfire Cylinder 4)... After replacing all the coils, I'm getting "Random Multiple Misfire" code, I don't have access to a VAG because I'm in ****ing "nowhereville, GA" and I'm thinking it could be the ignition amps... any thoughts?

If I knew that a specific cylinder was misfiring, I could swap the amps and see if the misfire followed, but since it's the generic "Random/Multiple" I don't know where to go from here...

I have 107k, new plugs (as of 3000 miles ago), new coils as of an hour ago and as soon as I went for the test drive, it was humming along perfectly... I dropped the hammer on it and it started to stumble and then the "check engine" light flashed. Then it goes out... I mash the gas... it flashes... but for the most part, it turns off when I'm not driving it hard.

I'm kind of at a loss...

Anyone who might be able to troubleshoot this over the internet with just some thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like you went the right route.

Switch your plugs around would be a cheap route.

To see if the misfires change positions.

Mine was fairly easy. ****ty plugs.

Mine was cylinder 1 and 4 as well.

are you using oem plugs?

now I'm only getting "Random / Multiple"... I was thinking amps, fuel relay or maybe even MAF... but because the only thing coming up is the P0300... I can't get a good idea of the problem.

If I knew which cylinder it was, I'd know how to test it out, but it's "random / multiple" now and I've cleared and re-checked 3 times... only 1 code, P0300...

So it leads me to believe that it's not the coil, the plug, the injector or the cables... because if it was, I'd get a specific cylinder to troubleshoot... so I'm thinking it's something further back beyond the cables... between the ECU and the cables to the coils..

any *new* thoughts?

coils brand new today and plugs about 3,000 mi old.

(but again, I'm not getting a specific cylinder... maybe the timing has been thrown off? just throwing that out there)

2fst4u2c

could the timing having something to do with this? The only reason I didn't think of this initally is because when I got it back it was humming right along... but is it possible that I could have slipped a tooth and that could be causing the P0300?

Just crusin its fine. Get on the throttle above 3k and it misfire bad. Took it to an indi. shop and they couldn't find anything. I'm curious to see what you find.
