Default Missfire on Cylinder 1

Evening all,

Car has developed a missfire on cylinder 1 according to my cheap fault reading tool. (EML Light is on)

Does anybody local to me (Macclesfield) have a proper diognostics tool that may give me a bit more info? i would really appreciate it if you would scan the car for me....i will pay your your petrol etc

I know the audi boys buy vagcom but as i'm new to Subarus i dont know if something similar exists

Thanks in advance guys.

i had a P0302 fault code which is misfire on cylinder 2. i seemed to had fixed it but i think it was the throttle position sensor cos i swapped all the coils around and the plugs and it didnt work then i cleaned the tps and hey presto the cars back to normal

this is the diagnostic tool i got it works great

Thanks mate, i have dropped a new set of plugs in and cleared the fault code, took it out for a 10 mile drive and it seems OK.

Presume that if there was still a problem the EML light would be back on now after 10 miles?
