got a CEL :(
ok so this morning on my way to school, as normal i backed out of my driveway drove a good 200feet before i got to the main road. and i was stopped waiting to turn for about 5 min. when it was clear, i turnerd... then my car jerked 2 times. so i eased off the gas and came to a red light... i saw my CEL was flashing... so immediately i knew i missfired. i shut my car off, turned it back on, it was still flashing, then it went solid. i dont have any codes yet, but i can scan my car later when im on my lunch break. idk if its the cold weather that caused it since i started my car and kinda just left. so yea....

i saw codes p0303 p0304 p0300 i misfired on cyl 3,4 and had multiple random, and there was another but i forgot i cleard the codes and ill see if they come back within in a few miles or so.
edit: forgot to ask, is there an equavlant to vag-com pc software that is free... totally free, not a limited use version. the vag-com i have is the free one, it tells me the codes, but says regester to see the description. so is there somethign out there i can use instead to see codes without having to pay 100$

did you gap them correctly? since its on multiple cylinders its most likely the ICM not the coilpacks or plugs. but i would pm auditech79 to make sure

Just swap coil packs from 3 and 4 and put them on 1 and 2 and see what happens. If same, check the porcelin insulatator part of your plugs for hairline cracks. I had misfires a while back from that. Don't know if i torqued em to much or what, but it was 2 plugs (NGK). It would only miss under load. If not that then there isn't much else to suspect other than the icm. But I guess you are shipping your ecu to get shipped tomorrow so you can't do that now. Just fix it when you get your ecu back.
