So everything has been fine with my car until recently. It started to missfire really bad. I pulled the code and it said Missfire in Cylinder 4. So I did what anybody would do, I swapped coilpacks around to see if it was them. The missfire only comes at random ass times. It could be fine all day then suddenly start missing out. So anyways, after I switched the coil pack around it drove fine all day, then it suddenly started missfiring again. It was cylinder 4, so I changed the sparkplugs. Drove fine for a day, then it started missfiring again! Still in cylinder 4. Everytime it starts missfiring, its only at RPMs lower then 3k. So if I give my car a nice rev, it will go away for a couple seconds, then come back. Or sometimes when I rev it, it will go away entireley. Not sure whats going on, maybe bad gas or a semi clogged 4th injector? Please help!

Ok, o ring did not fix it. But i believe i have finally deduced the problem....and its retarded lol. Since im 100% sure its not the coilpack, sparkplug, or injector, (because i swapped them all around) i looked at the female connector for that connects to the coilpack itself. It has 3 prongs on the inside. 2 of them were bright silver, and one was black and burnt. Im going to go ahead and assume that this could be the cause. Im going to put some dielectric grease on it and see if that helps. Its only on the cylinder 4 connector, so i really believe this could be it.

Its fixed! It was bad connection due to the burnt wire on the wire clip, connecting to the coilpack. I bent the tab on the coilpack coordinating to the burnt clip, down slightly. It made a better contact and i have not had a problem since!
