Misfire, arghhh!
P0301 Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected
P0302 Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected
P0303 Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected
P0304 Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected
Can anyone tell me what could be the cause of this.This has happened twice in my Forester and it only occured when driving quite slowly at around 40-50 mph. My car has a full H&S decat, TD04L turbo, and Andy F Tek 3 remap for about 2 years with no trouble beforehand.
Thanks
Alan

What conditions does it misfire under, when your boosting?
There's a way to check them using an ammeter through pin one of the coil and the head of the coil pack, search the gen tech section you should be able to find the subaru manual diagram explaining this (Amp reading should be within a certain range for OK coilpack...)
They generally crack on classics, which is highlighted if you remap and run higher than standard boost

The two times that it happened , i.e. just before the check engine light came on, I was off boost and doing about 50mph on the motorway. and I had the wife and kid in the car, both times, so I was not driving like a loon.
I have printed out the diagram and will get my mechanic to check them.
Thanks for your help.

Back from my search and having read previous posts it sounds exactly like a neutral position switch problem.
Thanks for the excellent help lads. I will get one fitted in about 2 weeks time when the car is in for service.

Hi Simon
Out of interest I just wondered what you meant by saying people are "reluctant" to give out info ?
I'm not that technically minded but do try and help if I can

I make a living from mapping so doesn't effect me.
others make a living from replacing parts, servicing and fixing mechanical problems.. therefore they are reluctant to impact their income by freely releasing the info into the public domain.
I didn't want to annoy anyone but also like to help out where I can..

Just checking LOL
Sorry to be a pain but looking at your post number 11 it seems you can sort this out without replacing the NPS.. is this the case ?
Shaun
PS I had a few misfire CELS (two cylinders only) which was due to a faulty Lambda sensor diagnosed by a mapping colleage of yours........the NPS might therefore be a red herring
