Cylinder miss fire

I am a new member to this site, and I am having problem with my 08 Acura tl type S. I just hand a check engine light. I got a engine test and it was reading that I have a misfire on each cylinder. Can anyone give any help info, so I can try and trouble shoot the problem. Thanks

There are dozens of threads relating to all cylinders misfire, but I would check each cylinder to see if one can be isolated. At idle, disconnect one coil at a time to see if it changes the idle, if the idle doesn't change that's the problem cylinder and can trigger the other codes.
As it's an '08, how many miles on the car, still under warranty?

Thanks for the tip. The car has an extended warranty, but I might try it anyway just to know what is wrong with it.

added note to the missfire problem

WIth the car, the codes that were up was that all the cylinders were missfiring. THe only signs of a problem when diring was at idol. When I was moving the car ran fine. Maybe this could help with an idea of what could be wrong. I think it is something simple, and with the warranty I have a $250 copay, so if it is just a vacuum leek, or a coil pack then I can fix that myself. I just need a kick start to what I am looking for.

like turbonut stated, you need to check each coil pack by doing the test above.


6mt or 5at?

and

you have a co-pay on an extended warranty? Is that normal? I've never bought one for a car before.

Well it is a deductible like with insurance. This is the first car that has had it so I am new to it.
