Pretty much what the title says ,under hard acceleration around 5k rpm i have a misfire ,checked all the usual suspects pipes freescan etc nothing abnormal ,i am thinking that maybe i have a coil pack about to give up the ghost ,car has done 70k miles.Any body had similar issues? Plugs and leads are new as i had exact same problem earlier or could i have an engine with a hunger for plugs ?

many thanks
Nick S4s

Apparently its a common GM part or something, did Geoff fix it? He did mine, cost me a kidney and most of my sanity...
