Hey guys
Am having P0300 misfire code
Cylinder 1 and 4 is misfiring
Misfruing counter gave me that information and I checked its not firing when coil is removed and Crank to check spark but 2 and 3 is having spark.

Please can anyone help me probe this ?

Also can I get fsm or wiring diagram for the coil plug so I can check for continuity and wiring integrity

Thanks

Swapped coils and even the spark plugs of the working cylinder 2 &3 to the non working 1 &4

Misfires didn't move

Is not a compression issue BTW because crank outside the hole of the spark plug is not even sparking light/ fire in 1&4

It's a 3 wire coil - power, ground and control wire (0-5v pulses on scope). The control wire will be the color that's unique to all the coils. Run a headlight bulb across the power and ground to check power and ground. Check control wire for a signal with a meter you should get some voltage fluctuations like 0-.3v on a multimeter while engine's idling. 0v could be open, short, poor connection, maybe jump the control wire from a firing coil into the dead coil's control wire and see if it'll fire then. dunno where computer lives so do as much as you can at the coil.
