Cylinder 4 missfire
so my car has had a cyinder missfire p0304 and a PFFFE code?
and i arleady chcked the following:
coilpack
spark plugs
-tomorrow i will be hopefully swapping injectors and see if the problem moves with the said injector.
is there anythig else i could check?
if after the injector swap nothing changes i will be getting a compression check done to make sure everything is all good. the car operates like normal, i havent done any hard driving since the CEL first came on, also as far as mods im running a 16g,header/up/tbe,inlet,spt shortram,top mount. car has 70k. all mods have about 30k miles.

Similar issue with mine as well. It could be coil packs, plugs gapped incorrectly, injectors failing/clogged, or a tune issue. I thought my issue was fixed with minor tuning fix but it's still happening. I get misfires on 1 and 3 but generally showing the same codes. Just had my engine checked and its in great health just this minor issue going on. Does the car feel normal after you are above a certain RPM? Misfires only at idle or did it misfire under load?

Did this happen once or is it a recurring issue?
I've had a few misfires over the years and only worry about it when it's recurring. LOL.
Bad plugs caused mine.

Hopefully it's something that simple. Chasing codes can suck big time.
I've got one on all the time right now. Stupid tumbler sensor broke.
