coil pack

hey guys im trying to figure out the misfiring codes i got on my lnf p0300 random cylinder misfire and p0301 cylinder 1 misfire. i was just wondering is it possible that if one coil is gone could it cause a p0300 random cylinder misfire?

One way to find out is to swap the coil pack on cylinder one with another and see if the misfire code moves. If it does, swap out the bad coil pack and see if both codes disappear. Check to see if your spark plugs are fouled also.

Check the spark Plug boots, I had a bad one, it caused insane misfires on load.

Walnut shell and dental picks time consuming and messy but well worth it if you have alot of build up. Car runs 10x better lol
