    I had 2 (different) stock wires die in a year. Was under warranty then, so the dealer did it for free. Now I've got aftermarket wires on with no probs.

              well changed the coil today and found out that wasnt it.. looks like the wires are next


              again today the light came on and #1 misfire (PO301) now if this plug wire doesnt work (have changed spark plug and coil) what else could it be?? does each injector have its own fuel filter? why would it not be a constant... for instance drove the car about 50 miles today.. about 25 miles it missed the other 25 it didnt.. and these were including stops at stores and such

                could an injector also be causing all this??

                    could be a dying injector

                    but if its running that is more then one misfiring has to be at least 2
