Thalia rough idle misfire

My 2018 Renault Thalia with a gasoline engine is giving me hell. It has 79k km and is running rough, stalls at idle, the check engine light's on, and it jerks like crazy when I accelerate. I suspect a dodgy cable or plug, probably the ignition coil. Has anyone else had this?

Sounds like a misfire. I had something similar with my Thalia. Have you checked the spark plugs? It could be related to the ignition system. What about vehicle diagnostics?

Spark plugs are fine, already checked. Misfire, huh? Where exactly was the problem with your Thalia?

It was the ignition coil. The symptoms were identical. Check all the connections first. If not, you're probably looking at replacing it. I reckon it's workshop time.

Replaced the ignition coil, it cost me 95€. Runs like a dream now. Cheers!
