04' Jetta cylinder misfire help
About six months ago my check engine light had gone on and the code was a P0301. I replaced the coil pack, wires, and plugs and the problem had gone away. A month ago I got another light with the codes P0301 and P0353. I understand one is a cylinder 3 misfire and the other had something to do with the ignition coil. It is a very intermittent problem. Sometimes the light flashes and the car shakes like a misfire and sometimes the light is completely off and the problem is gone. Any ideas on where I should start looking to solve his problem? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Thanks!

There are plenty of online OBD error codes but they only tell you
P0301 Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected
P0353 Ignition Coil "C" Primary/Secondary Circuit
not what to do about it, mine does in alot of cases.
