1997 audi a4 1.8tq PO302 misfire and it's not the coilpack???? HELP!!!!!
So like the titles says its a 97 a4 1.8tq with 180k. Today randomly it started running like a flat 4 (sound). I was guessing misfiring, coil pack, or the plug. I replaced the coil packs around 10,000 miles ago, I also saved the original coil packs numbered by cylinder. The code came up PO302 so cylinder misfire on #2. So I pulled the coil off and switched it out with all the old coil packs (tried them 1 at a time to see if it was the coil pack) no improvement. I started the engine again and pulled out #2 pack and it ran exactly the same...so not getting spark to #2. Pulled the plug and checked gap...within the norm..it did have some heat stress (rainbow swirl on the metal) and there was a bit of black carbon and the spark tip was brown. I cleaned it up and reinstalled. Pulled the battery and checked the voltage...it was good 12.6v, cleaned all the terminals, reinstalled.
The only odd thing was when i took it to the auto parts store to get it scanned he could not reset the codes...he said the obd2 scanner could not reset it????
Also there was a PH76 code I could not find info on the description was: manufacturer specific power train.
Any Ideas....I'm probably gonna have to take it to the shop on Monday.
Thanks,

Just another quick question. Would the car being chipped prevent the obd2 scanner from resetting the fault codes. I'm gonna look into the icm, i did't see any frayed wires on the coil pack harness.
Thanks for the info, very much appreciated
