My money would be on the coil cover, especially if it had been a long time since the last tune up. it is certainly worth trying, as this is part of a routine tune up anyways. good luck!

NEW PLUGS. AND WIRES COLD START, MISSES, INCREASE RPM. MISSES COIL PACK READS 8.9 SET 1 8.1 SET 2 AND SET 3 8.6. ARE THOSE READING BAD ? WHAT SHOULD NORMAL READINGS BE ?

I really like to help but you're not providing much info to go on here:)

Are we talking about a go-kart, Mopar, GM, Ford, 6 Cyl., 8 cyl, 3 cyl., truck, car, motor home??? Are those voltage readings while running or engine on but not running?

A coil requires 9.5 volts to fire efficiently. Is your battery fully charged? Why did you replace the plugs and wires? How does it do when it's warm?

Change the #1 fuel injector to #2 and #2 to #1 position.If the miss fire code changes to #2 cyl that fuel injector may need to be changed.I would try that first before spending $$$

At idle miss firing on cyl 1 3 5

Check connectors for injectors and plug coils. The read out would have told you what injector or plug was faulty. Come back with the code numbers.

Hyundai 2.7 P303, P306 at the same time

I would say its the coil. A crank or cam sensor could cause one cylinder to miss, or go completely dead, but I doubt it would affect two cylinders. And you would get a code for either sensor.

1997 Pontiac Sunfire 2.4 DOHC, 2 outside cylinders won't fire

One coil serves those two cylinders (no. 1 and 4), so try repllacing that coil.

You should replace your Cap and rotor....Check for any vacuum leaks, When you replaced your plugs, were there any plugs contaminated with engine oil ? Some times manifold gasket goes bad...and causes vacuum leak...Hope this helps you alittle more ???
