Out of nowhere, rough idle and low speed hesitaion, etc. 3 trouble codes thrown. I have had a bad coil before, but the P0354 is confusing me. Is there another coil somewhere? I thought each cylinder has its own, but is there some part common to cylinder 4 and 8 ?

P0354 - Ignition Coil D Primary/Secondary Circuit which pertains to cylinder no. 4 coil

Description: Each ignition primary circuit is continuously monitored. The test fails when the powertrain control module (PCM) does not receive a valid ignition diagnostic monitor (IDM) pulse signal from the ignition module (integrated in the PCM).

Possible Causes:

Open or short in the Ignition START/RUN circuit
Open coil driver circuit
Coil driver circuit shorted to ground
Damaged coil
Coil driver circuit shorted to VPWR

Diagnostic Aids: Use the 12-volt non-powered test lamp to verify START/RUN voltage at the ignition coil harness connector.
Check the coil driver circuit for open, short to VPWR, or short to ground.

P0304 and P0308 misfires

Check the sparkplug/compression/injector for no.4/8 cylinder
