97 A8 #4 cyl misfire
Having a serious problem diagnosing a misfire. Get a code of "cyl 4 misfire: P304". the engine is misfiring only in one cyl, #4
I've checked the compression, coil pack and changed it, check'd elec current flow and wiring, plugs, ignition, etc. I've cleared the code and restarted it and the code returns when restarted. I've swapped injectors to other cyl & code re-appears.
any ideas?? I've been working on audi's and vw for 25 yrs and this one has me stumped.
thanks

What year A8? Pre 04 A8's sometimes have problems with building up carbon the intake valves that can sometimes cause a miss-fire fault. A re-flash of the ecm would fix the problem but since there isn't one currently available that i know of try the old school fix and spray chemtool carb cleandown the intake trick.

I have similar problems with my -97 A8. Cylinders 1 & 5 reports misfiring. Changed plugs, took it to Audi quick service, but they just told me that they have to do more extensive investigation (and more money). Going to change coils next. Hope it will fix it.... :-(
