Swapped ignition coils 2 and 4. Drove the car and it threw codes P0301, P0302, and P0303.
Check resistance on all four ignition coils. All good.
Checked power supply to all four ignition coils. All good.
Checked all spark plugs. Replaced the number 2 spark plug as it had minor carbon buildup and wet oil deposits. All other spark plugs looked okay. All are NGK IR plugs.
Pulled the injectors and supplied 12-volt power on the bench and pulsated fuel and carb cleaner through each injector to verify they all were working and were cleaned.
Check resistance on all four injectors. All good.
Check power supply to all four injectors. All good.
Check the battery voltage. Allgood at 14 volts and 12.5 at idle.
Replaced valve cover gasket and spark plug tube seals.
Performed a compression test on each cylinder and all cylinders had identical compression at 125 PSI.
Performed wet compression test on each cylinder and all cylinders had virtually identical compression at 134 PSI to 136 PSI.
Replaced number 2 ignition coil just to see what would happen and still misfiring.
It's important to note that I am performing all of these tests at the recommended engine temperature and driving the vehicle for at least 15 to 20 minutes after each test to clear codes and listen for misfire. The vehicle only misfires after it is warmed up completely and it is only a low RPMs misfire and it's random. It is not constant.
I replaced the PCV valve as well because it was clogged and disgusting.
Pulled the fuel pump and inspected the filter sock which did not appear to be that dirty.
Since the compression test, I have not been able to get the check engine light to come back on, but it is still misfiring significantly. I've driven it about sixty miles and at least ten drive cycles but still no check engine light so I can't check the codes.
Please help if you can. Thank you for your time.
