What engine do you have it's l6 N52/N53 or turbo N20 ?

I6 N52. Was yours (misfire) also on one cylinder? Something I noticed and found strange. In ECU test I tried triggering the injectors. Well you know what? It fails to trigger and flags something about an environmental alarm or something like that. No error codes anywhere. Got me suspicious of oxygen sensor but why on earth is only cylinder 5 affected almost all the time? Are there two sensors pre and post cat?

Checked everything and turned out to be the mass air flow sensor.
Cleaned it and problem solved.

Mmmh! One more thing to try!
