May help with misfires in cylinder(s)

In a turbocharged vehicle, a weak but still working coil pack can cause a misfire that only occurs when charged while the vehicle is otherwise running normally. Ideally you should be able to diagnose this by reading OBD2 trouble codes that will even point you to a specific cylinder such as: cause a misfire and enter one of these codes. In the event of misfiring, it is of course worth checking the spark plugs: a gap that is too large or a broken electrode can also lead to misfires. In a non-turbo car, a bad coil is likely close to catastrophic failure before you get any noticeable misfire or trouble code. If your misfire is coil related then replacing a weak or failed coil pack is the solution in any case and a suitable on-car coil pack or coil packs such as this one for the 1.4 liter turbo can be simple and inexpensive. . repair costs on your own.
