pulled code 0608 - cylinder 1 misfire...now what?
ok i have been getting misfiring and stuff for awhile now...when going WOT or close to WOT...
i pulled the ecu code today, 0608 came out...misfiring for cylinder #1
now...which cylinder is #1 and what should i do to fix this?
i just had spark plugs changed to ngk coppers gapped at 0.042 like 3 months ago.
any help is appreciated.

Cyl #1 is Passenger side on the bank closest to the firewall
I'd check the plug to see if it's fouled, and the coil.
Did you also get a 02 01 code from the ecu. If you did, it's probably the coil gone bad on your car. 99's have a bad reputation for coils.

thanks for the quick reply
ok so looking at the engine bay from the front....its at the top left then right?
i didn't get any other codes...just 0608
does it mean that my ignition coil is failing?

What Daniel B Martin use to say for this problem:
Swap the ignition coil from cyl 1 with cyl 5, and swap the spark plug in cyl 1 with the plug in cyl 3, and drive around and see if your misfire moves to a different cylinder. Then you will know what the problem is.

or are there any other factors that fit into the equation?
also, i noticed the coils have different shapes/lengths...would i be able to swap them like that and have them fit properly?

95% its either the spark plug or coil (most likely the coil) and if it's neither, you'll still misfire on #1 That's what the test is for.
