My 2002 1.8T is throwing 5 codes: P0171 (mixture too lean) and P0300-P0303 (misfires). I recently replaced the MAF and the spark plugs, and I couldn't find any vacuum leaks. Any idea what the problem could be?
Misfires, help please?

Ya, it shudders on hard acceleration and the CEL will sometimes flash, but if I back of the gas it goes away.

****, I was hoping that wasn't the case... I replaced the coils in '08, would they be bad already? It happens in 3rd and 4th.

Yeah looks like your coil packs in cylinder 1 2 and 3 are misfiring.

So would that explain the other code as well (P0171, mixture too lean)?

Not sure, possible though.
I was having coil pack problems,which I just replaced.
And I was also having a mixture too lean code.
If I can get my dam codes cleared, well see if the Lean one comes back

yeah that's coil packs if it's not your plugs since you just replaced those, but idk why they would be bad so soon
