[Biturbos4] Misfiring on multiple cylinders

[dap128]

The 2.7T isn't covered in the ignition coil recall as its coilpacks are a 
different less faulty design.

However, there are two modules on top of the airbox that control the 
passenger side and drivers side coil packs (cylinders 1, 2, 3 are bank 1 - 
passenger side and cylinders 4, 5, 6 are bank 2 - drivers side).  Sounds 
like one of those units is either unplugged or faulty.
