also, its 2 codes now
ignition cyl 4
misfire cyl 4

haallppppp!!!

Use some non flammable BrakeKleen by CRC and compressed air - down the spark plug hole. That should get rid of any old oil residue.

So... new VC ad VCG. What spark plugs? Dealer bought ones? IF not that would be my next step. Then IF you have good spark plugs it will be time for new injectors and/or carbon cleaning.

New plugs. Bosch ones. New ignition coils. Bosch as well. I'll try the compressed air today tho. Thought since I don't have direct injection there's no carbon buildup?
