2003 LS430 - P0306

Searched for this topic and didn't find it in the 430 section so...

A day or so ago, while my 17 yr old daughter was driving the LS430, the vehicle through a P0306 code.  Symptoms:  rough idle, drove like it lost a cylinder, limp mode (minimal power).  She came home crying cause she knew she broke Dad's ride.  After comforting her, I pulled up a few Lexus forums and searched for P0306.  Consistently, three issues surfaced.  Spark Plugs, Coils and less often Injectors.  P0306 is a misfire in cylinder 6.  So I started with the least expensive and changed the spark plug with a Denso Iridium and it had no effect - so my issue isn't the plug.  The old plug looked good...  Next up the ignition coil, replaced it with a Denso coil and the vehicle smoothed out, misfire gone.    

I think I spent more time searching threads than I did wrenching.  Thanks all, I appreciate your posts.
