[s-cars] Bad miss on S6 Avant

[Rich Assarabowski]

First thing I always check on any signs of misfire are the spark plugs,
these engines are notorious for plugs loosening up, even when torqued to
spec.  Good opportunity to make sure the boots are seated and not cracked,
before you start on the harder more expensive stuff (POS's & coil packs).

>Hi, all.  Yesterday I had to slam on my brakes for a sudden stop on the
freeway off ramp, and the car immediately started missing quite badly.
>
>I stopped and checked for loose connectors on the injectors and firewall,
and found none.
>
>It misses at idle, and all the way through the RPM range, and the exhaust
smells of sulfer like a struck match.
>
>Cooincidence, or did I shake something loose?  What do I check?

>Thanks!
