my #5 cylinder is misfiring, i figured it was that one, well i might have to buy a new ignition coil which is like $60, but w/e as long as my car works again. im not sure if its the coil it self, i want to check if it is receving power from the harness but i dont got no volt tester. i probably got one sitting around somewhere. ill let you guys know what happened
