1998 audi a4 2.8 100k miles P0302, Ginding Noise When I Turn to Left

[umoms]

On my Audi I just bought the car knowing it needed a new transmission. I bought it and fixed the transmission. It had a check engine light before i fixed the transmission P0302. Then I found out it needed a new battery. So i replaced that. And I still get P0302 which I know is Cylinder 2 misfire. Could the battery have caused this? Other than plugs/wires what else can it be?

Also, not sure if this is related,when i turn left the wheel feels tight and it feels like it is grinding on something.

The brakes and rotors and tires are all pretty new.

Any ideas on either of these two issues?

I would check the plugs and see in what condition they are. Swap the wires from cyl 2 to ?? and see what happens. If you still get the misfire code than next thing would be the coil to check. If that doesn't do it than you might be in some shit. As far as the grinding noise for your tires i would check the tie rod ends and your steering rack.

NGK plugs fixed my misfire problems.

Bosch's sucked and i had serious misfire problems.

Say your plugs and coils are replaced and you still get the misfire in cylinder 2, what wouls the problem be?


Thanks

Did you check the spark plug cable? I have also seen a plug crack and cause problems. Next thing would be a blown headgasket/ cracked exhaust valve. Did you try swaping cables and plugs like i mentioned earlier?
