Misfire with Cobb?

So, I have been running with Cobb Stage 1 Aggressive for over a week or so and everything has been great. However, last night when I was coming home, I came to a stop and had a rather rough idle. No lights were on the dash, but the car was making a surging sound. Funny thing is, even though it sounded like it was surging, the RPMs were steady. The car sounded like it was going to die. In any event, I came home, shut the car off, restarted, and all was well. I was curious today, so I went down just to see if the AP would pull any codes. Sure enough, I had a misfire from cylinder 4. I drove the car this morning and there were no issues. Not sure if this is Cobb related or not. Any ideas?

For what it's worth, I recall my car doing something similar when I had the JB Stage 1 installed. I never pulled the codes before though. Like I said, with the exception of yesterday, the car has been golden with Cobb.

Could be time for some new plugs. Have you had time to do some logs by any chance?

Cobb misfire diagnosis.
N54 specific but the diagnosis procedure is the same.

I only have 12,xxx miles on the car, so I doubt it could be plugs. Was going to log today, but it's snowing like hell.

Thanks for the vid. I'll check it out.

Sometimes mileage isn't a factor in plugs. Wear and tear stimulating from harsh driving can be the cause as well
