So may stupid misfires. sometimes you just have to turn around and look someone in the eyes and say "Dude, I've check this this this and this, am I fucking dumb? Did I just drive here this morning without my car keys? Am I even here? Is it even today?". Don't stay in your lane, bouncing ideas off of other people is essential for checking your sanity.

The last misfire I dealt with, I was literally freaking out, checked everything twice forwards and backwards and at my wit's end, I just depinned the PCM connector and moved the entire coil driver circuit for cylinder 4 to the driver for cylinder 6. If it worked there and not in it's old home, can't be anything else than a blown driver inside the PCM right? Imagine me shouting across the shop "Hey boss, you know that new PCM we put in last week? Yup, we're going to need another one". I went around to like 3 people asking " Am I dumb? if a lamp doesn't work and I unplug it from the wall and plug it in somewhere else and it works, is HAS to be the wall plug right? RIGHT!?, please tell me it can't be anything else because I would really like to know what else it could be!"
