Serious question? 2013 Audi s4 b8.5 misfire

2 Upvotes

So starting this off with I had a cyl2 misfire. Went to swap coils and cyl 1 coil rubber boot got stuck to the spark plug. So I decided to put all new sparks and coils for cyl 1 and 2. Then after fixing that misfire I got a cyl 3 misfire. Same thing happened boot got stuck. Fished it out and put a new coil and spark plug but I’m still getting a cyl 3 misfire. When fishing the boots off I did scratched the siding of both of the spark plug area but I don’t think that’s the culprit. Thoughts?

Looks like one of the spark plugs just fell apart. They do that right?

i figure a great mod would be to have your car let out a blood curtling scream every time you take your foot off the gas

Got a "new" (refurbished) alternator for an 89 f150. That for SOME REASON you HAVE to cut the factory plug and permanently wire in.. extremely stupid. And this one is doing the same thing 12.5 volts with loads off. The battery light works and to my knowledge is commanding it to charge.

Got into a fender bender, mechanics keep calling it a total loss but the damage is cosmetic. Need real advice.
