    Help with persistent misfires

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have a 2007 q7 that has had a misfire problem for a while now. It runs and idles great but when the rpm gets up around 4500 the the check engine light starts to flash.
    When I check the codes it says there is a missfire on cylinders 1, 4 ,2 ,8, 6, and 7. The funny thing is those cylinders missfire when I'm accelerating, but if im decelerating and down shift to slow down then cylinders 3 and 5 start to misfire. I took it to the dealer a while back they replaced the fuel pump, the fuel filter, the spark plugs and coils and an intake runner actuator to no avail. I asked them about cleaning the carbon off the intake valves but all they offer is a some sort of cleaner they spray in the intake while the engine is running so I ordered the parts and did it myself. Still have the same missfire. If anyone has any ideas that would be very helpful thanks
