Found the problem.

was a loose wire in the main harness plug ...it had worked its way out.

pushed it back in and all is well.

thank you everyone.

#1 240

#2 235

#3 230

#4 230

yes changed coil out with a new one. ( the old one had bad ohms readings ) and changed injectors with no symptom change .

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?
