Tape it back together as a temp fix and see.
Check all of your grounds on that connection to the coil as well.

Upon visual inspection they seem fine but I'm going to pull the railing thing off and check under there (if that makes sense). Anything in particular to look for?Originally Posted by TheFinanceGuy
Edit: could a leaky VCG be the problem? There seems to be oil coming from the VCG right above cylinder 1...

Make sure the wiring harness for the #1 coil isn't damaged in any way.

Check the harness where the red arrow is pointing and make sure you have good connection on the two circles.
BP suggests to check the wiring harness as well, that is the red wiggly line at the bottom. Might want to remove/unclip that plastic cover to ensure everything looks normal.

Harness and connection seems ok albeit it a little oil under either the long plastic holder thing. Going to do the VCG while I'm this far.

Yeah, that all looks good. Might need to do a compression test.
Things that cause a misfire are no spark, no fuel, or no ka-boom. If you have no compression, then no ka-boom.

I think I'm just going to give up and take it to my Indy, let them figure it out and do my VANOS seals as well. :sigh

Well the strangest thing just happened, I decided to try my new coil from Turner that just came even though I pretty much ruled out a coil problem and it appears to have fixed the problem!! About to take her for a drive and find out for sure, SES is still on but its definitely running on all cylinders now. Fingers crossed...

Maybe you have two bad coils? I know I have a bad coil in my X5, and several members here reported after one went, another went...
