P0300 Multiple Misfire

Hey everyone,
I just read this code of my ECU today since my car is running like crap. Its boggy and idle is bad. About 3 weeks ago I had a cylinder 4 misfire in which I replaced the ignition coil and that seemed to fix the problem. I never cleared the ECU so whatever code was there was still there. Now I read the ECU and picked up a Multiple Misfire P0300 code. Could this be just another ignition coil, if so is there an easy way to figure out which one is bad so I can replace it.
