Haynes manual would be a nice investment....

Only $13 bucks or so.

according to my info....BlackMaxdout is correct...middle cylinder and on the front bank (closer to the front of the car) all you need to do is remove the little cover and the coils are exposed with the plugs underneath them.

A miss-fire can meen any number of things. Can mean bad spark plug, sticking injector at the cylinder, a coil problem at that cylinder, or a tad bit of bad gas. Start out with resetting the code and see if i comes back

just imagine how much money shops make for hooking up a scanner and cleaning a "misfire" code that simply came on because of some bad gas...make me want to buy a scanner and just start charging people $50-$100 to scan a code for them! hell, for that much, i would even pump in new gas for them!
