if the light is on get it scanned so you know the code. diagnosing a vehicle without knowing the codes is a waste of time.

I will guess water or anti-freeze in the spark plug holes. That is the first thing I would check...

well there is your problem cylinder 8... swap the coils to see if the problems follows the coil to diagnose... if not than it may be sparkplug.. or wires for coil or fuel injector...
