cylinder 1 misfire
I have a 99 benneville se and the check engine light came on. I scanned it and i got the p0301 misfire cylinder 1. I replaced the plugs and wires I then erased the code to see if it would eventually come back on but it has not. My car now is sluggish and just does not want to get up and go. It also sounds like i have a vacuum leak. Help plz

Please put your car'* year and model into your signature line (User CP at top of this page, Edit Signature in menu on left of page that opens up) so we can best address your questions.
Is your car supercharged?
If you suspect a vacuum leak, get a spray can of carb cleaner and spray it around the vacuum connections, the EGR, etc. A change in idle speed when you spray an area is a sign of a vauum leak, and will help you focus in on it.

You should still use the procedures I posted earlier, but you should also check your ignition coils.
