| :Oh...I thought you verified "spark". Any way to hook up your "sensing" device to the signal wire at the coil? This will verify PTU error. I verified spark at when cold and no spark when warm. But I don't think the gadget I use can detect the PTU signal. It is specially made for detecting ignition. A picture is worth a thousand word. :-) :I have experienced very odd behaviour with this car...my mystery cylinder was #3 as well. I replaced all coil packs/plugs with new it still misfired. I ended up resetting the ECU and all was good! I don't know the level of "fuzzy logic" this beast has, but somehow it detected low spark and cut fuel.
:Try that! (just for shits and giggles, do a compressioin test too!) The ECU has been reset several times already. I wished that had solved it. :-( Right now, I think the problem is likely to be the PTU, the ECU or the harness in between. Maybe a short. Or a bad wire that has significant resistance when warm. Timing and compression will be checked when I get the tools. I have neglected the baby for too long. :-/ Cheers,
