Could coil packs close to exhaust cause missfire?

As above

Yes.

Plus they may be cooked now and therefore you might need to replace them.

However, it could potentially be a whole lot of other things so I'd check everything before moving/replacing them.

most definatley YES!...
Coils and Coil Packs are renound to fail if they overheat. It would be better if it were located somewhere cool.

Just a thought. They are not close to the ehaust, but as mid engine when stationay after a run they could heat up in engine bay as no air flow. Just a thought.
Thanks

Hi, you still got that misfire then? I have the coils from my T/ace (I assume they will work on your engine) if you want to try them and see if there is any diference!

Yes but only when its warm

I'd be happy to give you a hand looking at this. I enjoy a challenge. Lol! It might be worth doing a leak down test just to be sure all is well mechanicaly. Then a coil pack swap and maybe a look to see what the mixture is doing. I've killed my wideband probe but I realy must get another so we could fit it when I get a new one and maybe my egt as well. We would need to drill a hole in the manifold for the egt but nothing a spot weld with the tig wouldn't heal. Mixture going lean could be the cause amongst other things.

I have wide band fitted
