Changed plugs, coils, and injector still having misfire on cyl 2

So as the title says I’ve changed the plugs coils and the injector on cylinder 2 however I’m still getting misfires once the car idles for a little while. It’s starts fine and idles fine initially but then you’ll slowly start to hear it develop a misfire within the first few minutes of idling. I was able to drive it for however long last week it wasn’t until i would go to turn the car back on that the misfire was there but now it starts within a few minutes of the car idling. What could it be. When it’s really misfiring bad it’ll also say that cylinder 4 is misfiring so what could be going on with that bank? It doesn’t always say that though.

Yes I did on ista

I’m starting to think it’s either the fuel rail pressure sensor or HPFP on that bank

On my other car, also German twin turbo V8, I was also getting misfires over a whole bank. Plugs, coils, nothing fixed it.

Turned out to be a bad oxygen sensor that wasn’t even giving a code. Maybe check those, they’re pretty easy to swap out.

Hmm ok I was just ordering a new HPFP and fuel rail sensor but I may as well throw a couple o2 sensors in as well

You can also change them from the other bank if you don’t want to purchase new ones. See if the misfires are affected or not.

Good call I’ll go do that now. Should I just try both? Can’t I use ista to just view the values of all these sensors that way I won’t even have to touch them? But in feel like if a sensor was reading a weird number it would throw a different code that just a single cylinder misfire.

Had the same issue one time. Turned out to be the coil pack was not seated fully, despite the clip closing. I would double check that particular cylinder.

I would try both, you can do them in under 20 min if you have a thin walled O2 sensor socket.

I don’t think it would be if it was only one cylinder, but after you mentioned cylinder 4 as well it reminded me of this same issue I had.

Yeah I’ve removed and reseated that coil pack about 20 times already

Last year I was having a fairly similar problem for my 2013, but the idle was bad immediately after start up. This was a few months after doing the coils and plugs. My issue was one of the high pressure fuel pumps. I thought it was the injectors at first. Your issue seems a little different, so just food for thought.
