Its your gas distributor, swap pipe 5 with the blank pipe and your mis fire should be cured

Also, you can try cleaning the dist with carb cleaner, I tried it with the S60 l'm driving, but ended up replacing the dist, but my issue was cutting out while on gas, I had the mis fire problem last year

If you remove the 2 mounting bolts of the dist unit and remove your radiator fan, this gives you plenty of access to play with the pipes, the dist is numbered, but I don't know why as it doesn't matter where the pipes go.

Can't remember how many prong mine are but they've lasted 30k and still going strong.
