If it was the coil the wouldnt start at all, the coil has died on me twice before, were i drove into a petrol station got fuel went to start the car and all it did was turn over and wouldnt fire AA came down and said its coil pack. The coil pack i have is a beru one (so its genuine as its a premium 1 and is made hy bosch) I took elec cleaner spray to all off the connections (knock sensor & crank sensor) sparkies are brown and had a bit of black soot on the white ceramic bit. Swapped leads with another set and still misfiring. Took it to my unc and he said the timing is out as its pinking like hell even going down hill it pinks. The distribution cap & rotar arm look good and clean not corrosion.
i spoke to another mechanic and said to him all i did was take battery off clean earthing points under it and replace it. It misfires worse at 1100 revs. If im rolling in 3 or 4th and revs are 1100rpm the car will jerk like mad and pink till iv gone to 2k rpm. I know its not a coil. I aint going to splasb on another coil pack before getting it checked. I went to see mad4vws and used some spark leads he had laying around. After putting them on there was no differance to the misfire but he dont have a coil pack. So now im fooked.
