So I have read through the forum a couple times at random misfire codes. I have a 2006 cobalt 2.2L that will not stop misfiring. Throws a random multiple misfire code randomly then 30 minutes later it shuts off.

I've tried changing plugs(2x), boots, coils, ignition control module, injectors, and the ecm, but it still does it. Is there anything I am missing? I know this is a common issue, but there has to be some way to fix it.

I am checking compression when I'm off tonight. As for timing I don't want to get that deep into the motor if I don't have to.

I am only misfiring on cyl 1 and 3 so I ruled out timing.

Cyl 1 n 3 are partners. May be correlated to a valve chipped or cam/crank sensor related.

You can check the timing by simply pulling off the valve cover. Should take less then 20 minutes. I have seen many jump timing, usually the top chain guide is cut clean off, or the tension-er has failed. I have seen a few chipped valves on the #1 cylinder. Timing is only one you can fix, as a chipped valve is gonna require cylinder head removal. You do not need to remove the timing chain cover to check the timing. There is a mark on the crank pulley, google a picture of timing chain, set to TDC, there should be 16 links between the INTAKE DIAMOND and EXHAUST DIAMOND, and three and a half links back to the top of the valve cover(from the diamonds).

So I got off late and am going to try and compression test it today when I'm off.

Every cylinder reads within 2-3 of this. So valve issue is out of the picture.

But all my plugs look like this.
