Thumbs up Re: p0300 CE code

Good news!

I started the car and it ran NICE. The 02s were cycling and the CEL was cleared and stayed away. After 2 minutes, the car went back to running on 4 cylinders (I know it's 4 now) and the CEL P0300 came back. I started to pull plugs off the coil pack.

The first 4 showed a NICE spark that went right to the valve cover including my hand. The engine showed signs of loss of cylinder and spark was definately visible. The last 2 on the same coil pack towards the BOTTOM resulted in NO visible spark and no change in engine noise.

It seems my car is running on 4 cylinders. I am going to swap in another coil pack. Do all TT and NA use the same coil pack? Anyone got any other ideas?

Looks like I am on the right track. Thanks to everyone.
