#1 & #3 clys. Are misfiring. I put a new coil pack cover on first, this seem to help, but I still got a bucking when I tried to pull out. Then I replaced the fuel filter. This seem to make it worst. Then I put both coils on, and a mougle, all new parts. Still missing on 1 &3. Took off fuel rail, switched injectors, still not firing on 1 &3. Could I got bad parts? Thank You

Engine misfiring can be caused by worn or fouled spark plugs, a weak spark (weak coil, bad spark plug wire), loss of compression, vacuum leaks, anything that causes an unusually lean fuel mixture (lean misfire), an EGR valve that is stuck open, dirty fuel injectors, low fuel pressure, or even bad fuel.
