Default misfire code P0302

My 98 A4 threw and engine code today after I started it. It's running really ****ty and lack of power and lots of vibration. The code reader says P0302 #2 cylinder misfire. replaced spark plugs-no change. swapped coil packs around-no change. Searched previous post's and alot of guys are saying ignition control module. Wondering were they are located and how do you test them?

Default You didn't search very well then. It's on top of the airbox, you use a multimeter to test it

It's the device with two connectors coming out both sides held down by two hex bolts directly on top of the airbox:

Continuity is all you need to check for IIRC.

Default Which coilpacks are you running? Hitachi?

Any application for an '01 AWM?
