Tried to fix a single misfire....
Swap back to the old coils and double check you plug wires to make sure they are routed correctly. It sounds like you mistakenly crossed them. Search the forums for the firing order diagram. It's a good one - someone took the time to edit the rendering to give it the perspective of an onlooker instead of the POV of sitting behind the steering wheel.
Could a large intake manifold gasket leak cause these symptoms?
MISFIRE AND BACKFIRE GONE!!! For now..I had swapped wires 1 and 5 somehow...
The new (used) coil I left on and swapped the old STI wires back because the cheap-o wires did seem like absolute garbage.
All new plugs.
I have it idling in the driveway making sure the rtv on the intake gasket sets and dries completely. It sounds good!
Question though,
I have what seems to be an exhaust leak on the driver's side. I can't figure out where it's coming from. Do these motors go through exhaust manifold gaskets ever?
It seems to me it looks like they could be replaced, but I'm wondering if that's the source of my pop/tick sound that sounds like every other exhaust gasket leak I've heard.
Cheers
