Default 1.8T no spark at cylinder

not sure the cylinder number but it is the second one back from the front of the car

i replaced the plugs and put in a new coil for that cyclinder but still same issue

i swapped it with one that works and i am still getting no spark im looking for clues be for a check the whole wiring harness for breaks

Cylinder number 2.

What year is your car? If you own a ndbw it is most likely the coil controller which you will find sitting on the stock air box.

When it goes bad it always seems to be #2 cylinder that misfires or no longer has spark.

yes ignition control module. swap your coil packs around, if the misfire stays in cyl#2 then you have a bad ICM. if it moves to a new cylinder, then that is the bad coil pack.

He said he did that on the main post. He still didnt get any spark after switching coils packs.

Just make sure you get the better version since IIRC there are 2 versions on the market.
