      It could be one of around 20 different things. The first easy step in the diagnosis process is pulling the new plugs to see how they look.

      No. Do you consider it might show as a code?

      Take it to an auto parts store and ask them to scan it for codes. Any significant misfire should set a P03**, and there may be others as well. OBD codes will somethimes point to the specific problem causing the misfire. If the codes aren't helpful, you can then either continue diagnosing, or start hanging on more parts if you prefer that approach instead.

      What were the individual codes, in the order that they were read?
