Check Ignition Cable(s) and Spark Plug(s)
Check Ignition Coil(s)
Check Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Valve (N18)
Check Camshaft Position Sensor (G40)

Possible Causes
Ignition system
Fuel injectorsI
Fuel pressure
Running out of fuel
EVAP canister purge valve
Evaporative emission system

This feature search for engine misfire in a specific cylinder. Most of the time the cause for a misfire is a lack of combustion in a cylinder due to absence of spark, poor fuel metering, or poor compression.

Do they have a single coil for each cylinder? If so just move the coil packs around and see if the misfire moves. If it does you know you'll need a new coil pack
