First of all, you will need to identify which ignition coil is causing the issue by using a diagnostic tool or visually inspecting each coil. Once identified, try swapping it with another coil and see if the issue persists. If it does, then that coil is most likely faulty and will need to be replaced. If the issue moves to the other cylinder, then the swapped coil is the one causing the problem. Additionally, you can also perform a resistance test on the suspected coil to determine if it is within the manufacturer's specifications.

Another common cause of a misfiring engine in a Vauxhall Crossland is a damaged spark plug. It is recommended to replace all spark plugs if one is found to be faulty. Make sure to use the right type of spark plugs for your vehicle and properly gap them before installation. You may also want to inspect the wiring harness and connector for any signs of damage.

In case the issue is not with the ignition coil or spark plug, it is possible that the problem lies in the fuel system. Check the fuel injectors for any clogs or leaks and clean or replace them as necessary. You may also want to check the fuel pump and fuel filter for any issues.
