Default Ok, $1000 is still on the table for anyone who can fix my misfire

at idle issue.
It misfires mostly on cyl 4. Sometimes on 5 and 6 but never 1-3. Problem was noticed at the time I bought car new and progressed over the years. It is just gradualy got worse on stage 1, 2+, 3. Two dealers, 5 visits, they are clueless.
Following been done:
- new spark plugs, coil, ign amp, Seafoam cleaning, engine coolant sensor, O2, new TBelt. Compression and leakdown test on cyl 4. Injectors now RS4 at 4 bar and RS4 fuel pump. With AC and all lights on misfires go down but not entirely, my be 10-15%.
Any takers, ideas?<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2122317.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2122317.phtml</a</li></ul>

Try pulling timing and see if it changes anything.

at idle with windows up, press windows up again, does your car lose idle RPM's? LMK

Default Sorry if repost, I didn't go though the whole linked post, but here are a couple of suggestions.

You could play with the clocking of the #4 injector. See if twisting it one way or another to redirect the spray pattern will help.
Also since you said something about higher idle loads helping the miss, why not try using the "Idle torque.." channel in lemmi. My guess is that tweaking one way reduces timing and vacuum, and increases airflow, tweaking the other does the opposite. Just a guess...

Default I had a misfire issue when I went Stg 3, and it was due to a bad solder on one of the ECU pins

New solder and a software upgrade and the misfires went away.

Default it looks like that the software is not the issue

I tried many different SW and misfire at idle was always an issue
