Bah! It's back to having a lumpy idle and it spat out the 69 and d4 codes again on a semi cold start. At first it didn't feel wrong and it drove great, stopped to top up the fuel tank and now as I pulled into my driveway it felt hesitant while in gear as I let it slightly coast (in third) to my driveway. Figured the jerkiness was due to being in 3rd, tried to get the car going in first just by letting the clutch out easily, back to a jerky forward roll, it wasn't doing this right after I had put the new coil in.
Any clue what else might be the case? I notice a bit of a tap tap here and there that is usually not there coming from the engine bay its a light tap noise, happens one after the other and in a sequence.
I have checked the ground wire, I have replaced the ignition coil.... I didn't do the wrong cylinder did I??? it's cyl#8 that is being problematic, I checked online and could only find one post on this forum in regards to the cylinder numbering, it said cylinders 1-4 run from the front of the car to the back of the car a long the passenger side of the car and cylinders 5-8 run from the front of the car to the back of the car a long the drivers (north american drivers side) side of the car. So I have replaced the coil on the drivers side of the car which is closest to the firewall.
this is starting to get annoying and I'm afraid I can't resolve it or do anything about it until 2 weeks from now meaning I'll be driving around with it as is until such a time. Hopefully I just did the wrong cylinder and it'll be as easy as swapping the coil over to the correct cylinder again. Now if I have done all this correctly, what are the next steps to diagnose this? Any idea's why the car would have started running rather well for the hour or two I did drive it after dropping in the new coil only to park it for a couple hours and to have it start throwing codes and then after a short drive start idling funny again?
