So was driving to work and my car started to bog and cel was flashing.i put my scanner and got po304 miss fire in #4.I have not pulled the coil pack out yet got off late but def thinking i need it as i have the phantom missfire codes everyonce.My car has no power and putters i looked through all the for sale ads and figured i could just post asking if anyone has a used one for cheap?Im a broke student in need i think about 25 bucks is fair for one? i just need to get my car back on the road any help would be much appreciated..

 

Try switching out the the coil pack to a different cylinder like to cylinder number 2 to see if the misfire follows that cylinder before buying one. It could be a bad coil pack and etc. or worst case scenario low compression. Any smoke from the oil cap(open) or tail pipe/exhaust while the car is running?

 

Woke up extra early to work on it this morning,I have not opened the oil cap i will do that i did not notice any smoke from the exhaust while parking it.I turn the car over and the idle is about 700 ish feels like im sitting in a old hot rod that has a aggressive cam in it with that shake that it does..Thanks for the help.

 

Check your plugs too.

 

Yeah, check plugs aswell... And make sure you get the correct coil plug. The 2.0 ltr coilpacks are a bit different than the 2.5 ltr coilpacks. And for 25 bucks I doubt you'll find one.good luck.

 

Thanks for the help i did exactly that and it worked.The #4 plug was a little wet with a light smell of gas.I did not know the packs are different from 2.0 & 2.5 thankyou for that i just knew black in the back and white front.Should i still look to replace the coil packs? I want to get into a newer model so if it is not needed would prefer not to put money into it.

 

Clean your TB and MAF sensor first, ECU always triggers the weakest cylinder as random misfired. It's cheap and don't replace parts that you might not need.

 

Will do that aswell thanks again
