Misfire when warm

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I've owned my IS200 for 5 years and been really pleased with its reliability.

Just recently, the engine light started flashing occasionally. I borrowed a fault code reader and this was shown as:

- random misfire

- misfire cylinder 1.

Spark plugs were replaced not long ago - so I replaced the coil pack on cylinder 1 too.

 

The problem came back... It seems to happen more in warm weather - and more when driving at lower speeds or stopping part way through a journey. Could this be because of a heat soak effect?

I borrowed the fault code reader again:

- random misfire

- misfire cylinder 4

- misfire cylinder 1 (pending)

- too lean bank 1 (pending)

 

Coincidence that another coil pack has gone? Or some other problem like a catalyst or a sensor?

 

TIA

Nick.

Thanks!

I wondered if it was that as I'd done some searching before posting and that problem popped up on other cars.

Is it the cats on the manifold or the one in the exhaust that needs replacing in your case?

well the one in the exhaust for sure needs replacment in my car but we not sure now about the manifold iv got some second hand ones for 50e each so iv bought the two of them but my mechanic said that he is going to replace just the one in the back first and see if it works maybe the front ones on my care will still work if not then ill have to replace the manifolt aswel,
