Recently the engine service light came up with code P0300 multiple misfires. I used timing light to pin point which cylinder wasn’t firing and came up with #4 and #8. So I checked wire for resistance and plugs seemed to be fine. In addition I replaced both coils and I still have multiple misfires on #4 and #8. my next step would be?
