      Well I decided today to replace all three coil packs. I was not sure which one was causing the problem, and since it was intermittent it was very hard to figure it out. For less then $80 it was worth it.

      Very easy to install, took my time and cleaned everything really well.

      Running great now, hopefully the problem is solved. I will let you know.

        also, the wire ends could be damaged.. so if thats the case, they wont make good contact, thus the intermittent misfire...

        good luck with it.. it soudns like you have the problem pretty much narrowed down to start with.. not much else it can be really...
