Hello all, im still getting a misfire as the code p301 showed misfire in cyl 1 ,can some one let me know if i should get a new coil pack ??? thanks

This sounds familiar (it happened to me) same symptoms anyway but not that code, you may want to check that code first................

Check the plug wells for oil or water as it sounds like the cam cover gasket is probably leaking oil. If so you will need to clean the breathers first as they get blocked and pressurise the cam cover which forces oil past the gasket.......see maint guide............

You might need new plugs if the oil has fried them.........

Get a genuine Vx gaket and o rings as the cheap pattern ones don't last very long. Oh and don't forget the black sealant when you are at the Vx dealer. HTH  :y
