SE-L, 5th gear while flooring it

When I push the pedal all the way to the floor while in 5th gear, I get some hesitation, then the service light blinks 4x???

Possibilities:
Fuel filter, injectors, coil pack going bad? spark plug?

sounds like a misfire, probably a coil pack.

Damn those coil packs, it would make things so much easier if they weren't so difficult to test... meaning, NOT having to individually use a OHMeter.

Haynes manual gives the values. Also, you need to need to test between the right pins, there are 3 to chose from.

one note*

my coil problem was intermittent.. i checked it with a fluke, and it was fine. But when the coil was put under load it wouldn't work, or some times it would.
