my car recently had the check engine light turn on and flash and then turned off right after. so i hooked it up to the computer and it said cylinder two miss fire, i amagined this was due to a spark problem so i replaced the spark plugs (due anyways) and now am going to replace the coil pack. i have never replaced one of these before so i was just wondering if i could get some help steps or advise on how to do this. thanks and happy 4th

Yeah my dad keeps a spare one in his trunk... haha he's changed two of them on the side of the road using nothing but a dime to get the engine cover off. B6's they aren't bolted down... my 2000 has them bolted in with 5mm allen bolts. Still, ridiculously easy.

Before you change the coil pack. move it to another cyl and see if the misfire follows.

You don't say what car you have but there are a number of Audi's with Faulty ignititon modules that fail on coil 2 due to bad soldering job at the factory.
