Common Next Steps
Turn the code into the next check.
Inspect ignition coils
Check coil boots, carbon tracking, and whether the miss follows a swap.
Check spark plugs
Inspect gap, fouling, wear, oil, coolant, and plug-well condition.
Verify injector operation
Move to injector balance, pulse, or leak-down checks if the misfire stays.
Check compression if needed
Use compression or leak-down testing when spark and fuel checks do not move the fault.
