I have changed the coilpack, but still a misfire
I had a really bad misfire on my saxo until today. But since I have changed the coilpack the misfire has gotten much better, but there is still a slight misfire there.
What would be the next port of call to find where it is coming from?
Cheers chaps

What else have you tried?
Next port of call would be the spark plugs. Take them out and make sure there's no carbon build up on them. Also make sure the gap is adjusted correctly. If you don't think they've been changed in a long time buy some new ones.

Make sure the spark plugs are tight, try changing them if the missfire is still there
