Cylinder 5 misfire?

Now a new thing happen. Car trembles at idle now. So many damn things presenting itself. 0604. I also got 1302 map baro switch. But 0604 today. Is it coil pack or spark plug? I can't check till a few hours so a little advice of what to expect would be nice. Thanks

For the 0604, try swapping the coil with cylinder #3 or #1 and see if the problem moves with the coil. That will help you isolate a bad coil pack.

If moving the coil does not move the problem, check for a blackened or wet spark plug on #5. We are seeing a few injector o-ring failures that result in cylinder flooding. I think this is purely coincidental but we are seeing the number of injector failures increase over the past 12 months. A leaking injector o-ring usually leaves some tell tale signs of flooding on the cylinder where the misfire is occurring.

So it has to be even with even and odd with odd?

It isn't that bad. But for cylinder 5, there is a bracket that gets in the way. Don't fight the bracket like many people do. Unbolt it and move it out of your way.

I got it. It was pretty easy. Thank god it was the coil pack. 60$ each. Thanks for location. I think it was still original coil for 200k miles. Unless it was another oem. Said nissan on it
