Default A few little engine problems....Codes

So I got my car scanned today and it came up with some misfires in random/multiples. Its a 2000 A4 1.8T. Recently put in a Giac. The Plugs are new and gapped at .28. Could it be my coilpacks? And does anyone know about recalls on those and if I have one? Ill post up the codes soon.

i ran coppers gapped at 28 with my apr, but even "stock" plugs gapped at 28 or 32 should work without misses.... i would say you are looking at coils....... about the "free" packs i am not sure, call your dealership and ask them, have your vin ready for them.....


they say for tuned cars you need 28.... and colder plugs..... but for just tuned that is not a given

Okay well here is what they mean

p1128- Long Term Fuel Trim mult.,Bank1 System too Lean
p1114- Bank1-Sensor2 Internal Resistant too High
p1602- Power Supply (B+) Terminal 30 Low Voltage
p0300- Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected
p0301- Cyl.1 Misfire Detected
p0304- Cyl.4 Misfire Detected


Now this is only saying cylinder 1 and cylinder 4. Does that mean I can just replace two single coil packs? Btw thanks turbo kraut. so far your my only help ha!
I found these two links. Which is better, the "R" or the "E"?
