Ok let me first say I am a vw mechanic been a mechanic since 1968 ....
And this one has me stumped. ,
I have a 99 Legacy/Outback with a #4 misfire .
I tested the coil and the coil had bad ohms readings were bad . So I replaced it . ( it is a 3 wire coil. ) with wires and plugs.
what I am getting for symptoms is #4 is firing twice ( at least ) as fast as the others.then skipping a couple of beats. then back to firing to fast .
the compression is #1 240 #2 235 #3 230 #4 230
Anyone have any Ideas?
