misfire why why why

well i changing out my lower intake manifold gaskets today with power intake gaskets pic:
i also replaced my plugs with NGK iridiums and did a compression test. everythings goin fine each cylinder was averaging about 1325-1400kPa which is above normal 1275kPa. so i put everything together fire it up and misfire. no code but i knew it. take everything apart to find that one coil boot has no electrode spring in it so i look everywhere for it and nothing well long story short i have to wait till monday to order it
