Hi Jordan and welcome to the LOC, we are a
friendly bunch and some of us even know how to pull them to bits and
put them back together again, with of course the one bolt and washer
left over.

We recommend you spend a couple of mins
looking over the rules of the LOC, we will be asking questions later.

Hi Jordan and welcome to the club.

I would suggest, if it hasn't been done recently, a full service including a new set of plugs, at least then if the misfire is still present you have a sound base to work from. As the plugs aren't cheap they sometimes get overlooked on a service but could be a potential cause of the misfire.

You could easily source the correct plugs online, eBay for example

Also check for any water in the plug wells. Easily done by over enthusiastic cleaning or work on the cooling system.

Keep in mind the plug change is not as simple as most cars as the inlet manifold doubles back over the top of the engine. Some extra stuff has to come off to get to all the plugs.

Yeah I gave it a look over earlier and think I'll get the parts and take it all off give in the throttle body a clean all around the plugs and air filter change it all and hopefully that will solve those problems.
