Anyone had this before?

Time for a compression/ leak down test. Post your results and we can help you out more. You definitely want to check the coil packs and gap on your plugs, like you were going to do..

does it throw a CELL? is it random cylinders or always the same one. if you need a set of coil packs and wires I have a set I can sell.

My car was also misfiring pretty bad, turned out my bpr8es spark plug gap was at .040.

Switched to bpr7es and gapped them to .024 and no more misfires.

Hope that helps.
