'07 V70 I had misfire turned out to be a combination of 1 bad injector and a coil failing intermittently. Replaced the injector and all coils - running good for now.

When my #1 blew, I had misfires detected in two cylinders. Forgot which ones, but #1 was not among them.

You want all cylinders compression tested.
Yep. The misfire algorithm works well for a constant miss, but ot can misread the cylinder if it’s rough running or an occasional miss, in my experience

This was with 0 PSI in #1... Misfire counters were like #2 and #4. Contrary, a dying fuel injector in #3 that was missing the mark sporadically, but it was correctly diagnosed by ECU. Maybe with #1 it goes south because it is the first cylinder in firing order.
