- no the engine is actually misfiring..you can feel it from time to time with a slight loss of power and a back fire shortly after.

- i have to agree there may be a problem with the coil pack causing the misfire and not burning the fuel fully in cyl #4 causing the backfire,,,,i would also check compression to eliminate a bad cylinder,,,you could also have a bad fuel injector,you could swap #4 injector with say #3 and see what happens , if the misfire goes to cyl #3 then its the injector

There may be a problem with the coil pack causing this misfire or the timing is off enough to cause late or early firing of the plug.
