Siena engine misfire P0301 code

My 2016 Fiat Siena 1.4 gasoline is running rough, especially at idle where it sometimes stalls. The check engine light is on, and under acceleration, it feels like the car is jerking. It's got about 83k km on the clock. I'm leaning towards a defective ignition coil, maybe a dodgy cable or plug connection. Has anyone else had similar misfire issues with their Siena's ignition system?

Summary of the thread

A 2016 Fiat Siena 1.4 gasoline engine was experiencing rough idling, stalling, and jerking under acceleration, with the check engine light on. The issue was identified as a cylinder 1 misfire, indicated by the P0301 code. The suspected cause was a defective ignition coil, which was confirmed and resolved by replacing the coil on cylinder one, restoring the vehicle's performance.

Rough running, stalling and a check engine light, huh? Could be a few things, but ignition coil isn't a bad guess. Have you tried scanning the OBD2 port for error codes? That might give you a more specific direction to look in.

Yeah, I did scan the OBD2. It threw a P0301 code, which points to a cylinder 1 misfire. I was just wondering if anyone had specific experience with the Siena and ignition coil failures before I start swapping coil packs. Is there a common failure point or a specific brand of coil pack that tends to go bad on these engines?

Ah, a P0301. Well, I am no expert when it comes to engine repairs. If the diagnostic points to cylinder one, and you're not confident, I'd suggest taking it to a workshop.

I replaced the ignition coil on cylinder one, and that seems to have resolved the issue. The total repair cost, including the new coil pack, came to about 95€. Runs like new again!
