Misfiring problem

[johnappleby]

Thanks for the reply :-) So I'd already ordered a coil pack by the time I read this, so figured I may as well install it.

Now with new packs on cylinders 5/6 the problem is WAY better. Under load, at low revs - most commonly when slowing down for a corner in 3rd gear and then speeding up, uphill, you get a machine-gun style misfire.

I got a flashing CEL briefly when testing, but it went off again.

That's a different misfire to before - hard to describe, but it's like a machine gun, before it would just be... muddy, when you put your foot down.

Is this just that all 3 coils in the bank had a hairline crack and moisture is getting across the bank? I'm thinking that if I replace the coil on cylinder 4, it should be all good?

It's worth noting that the weather is dry right now. I live in an apartment building so getting a hose to test is tricky!
