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.
Where there's a will, there's a death!!

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!

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.
