Replacing plugs every 800 miles
Hey guys. Need some help. It seems after 800 or so miles after replacing my plugs, my car starts missing again. Rough idle, cutting out coasting to a stop, lack of power. I replace the plugs with the NGK bkr7e coppers. APR tune set on 93 octane. 3" exhaust, cold air, water/meth and the 2.0T coil pack conversion kit. This didn't start happening until about 5000 or so miles after I installed the conversion. Then....every 800-1000 miles. No vag com. And the AutoZone techs are clueless when hooking up the car....at least around here in Connecticut.
Thanks for the help

AutoZone people aren't techs. Have you brought it to an actual Euro shop? What do the plugs that come out look like? Where in CT? Maybe we can suggest an actual shop to bring it to.

I'm in Meriden, CT. I was living in a small town in New York called Schoharie. No Euro shops around there when I researched. Before that, I lived in Williston, ND where the problem originated. Definitely no shops there. Haven't done any research yet for shops here in Meriden. I'll be doing that today. But if you have any suggestions as to any shops, that'd be awesome.
Thanks again.

Without a VAG, it will be extremely difficult to diagnose your misfire.
With a VAG, you would be able to tell which cylinder is misfiring. You could then swap coils and plugs to see if it follows. But without it, you are just guessing when you are replacing parts.
