I have changed all my ignition coils to the Bosch originals except for cylinder 4 and 6. Number 4 and 6 are some off brand I got at Napa. I get in the car go to drive it and I get a misfire code p1353. Misfire cylinder 6. Could this be because I bought some off brand from Napa? Are these cars that sensitive to an off brand and I need to go ahead and buy the true Bosch ones for cylinder 4 and 6? Please help
Welcome to the Forum!
Yes, they can be funky like that. Also I have seen electronic parts fail straight out of the box. To confirm that the coil is bad, test it with a multi-meter, or swap it to cylinder #1 to see if the misfire follows.
