Ignition misfire codes, need some recommendation!

About a month ago I got check engine light which came up with P1320 - Ignition Signal and P0304 - Cylinder 4 Misfired Detected. So I end up replacing the cyclinder 4 ignition coil. About a week ago the light came back but this time is just P1320. Should I have just replace all 6 coils with the updated ones? I didn't do that at first because it said I only have cyclinder 4 misfire.

erase it and see if it comes back. I had the same issue and replaced 2 of them that were throwing misfire codes and bought an extra for each bank in case another goes but its been almost 2 years and still none have failed beyond the original 2

yes, test them out before you replace all of them. I haven't had any experience with a p1320, but is that code a ignition coil code for sure, or could it be a problem with the signal from the crank/cam sensor?
