Default some one please explain this to me...

all four new coils and regap plugs at .32 (all 4 plugs are about 10-15k miles) and yet still have misfire logged in VAgcom under 1k rpm and some rand 2-2.5k rpm. what the hell???? what am i missing?

as far as i can tell, the car feels great and running strong. holding 21psi without any problem.

Default There have been several here that have had this issue...

Take a good look at your harness..The insulation breaks will be noticeable if this is the problem...

You didn't use cheap copper plugs did you?

Default it's .032 ... i was writing that last nite in the car after i got a bunch of stupid random misfire

while idling... no code, no weird hesistation, no boost cut off, nothing... car pulls... and i've read the tsb from andrew.tt so i guess i'll check the wiring harness for cracks. doubt it. watever if the car runs and pulls strong, i wont let this stupid ordeal bothers me.
