2. Check the ignition coil for the misfiring cylinder. A faulty ignition coil can also cause a misfire. To check the ignition coil, you can use an ignition coil tester or a multimeter.
3. Check the compression in the misfiring cylinder. Low compression can cause a misfire. To check the compression, you can use a compression tester.
4. Check the valve clearances in the misfiring cylinder. Incorrect valve clearances can cause a misfire. To check the valve clearances, you will need to remove the valve cover and use a feeler gauge.
5. Check for vacuum leaks. A vacuum leak can also cause a misfire. To check for vacuum leaks, you can use a smoke machine or a spray bottle filled with soapy water.
6. If you have completed all of the above steps and the misfire is still occurring, you may need to take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic for further diagnosis.
