Funny enough, misfiring disappeared after messing with the 2 & 3 position coil packs. I couldn’t get them out and felt like they might break to force them out. So I didn’t… I looked it up and an oversight on my part; I did not put dialectic grease in between the spark plugs and coil packs. This caused fusion between the rubber of the coil pack surrounding the conductive flat tip and ceramic portion of spark plug. I did not remove it completely because I found out pulling it would tear the rubber of the coil pack making it undrivable. But just from pulling and twisting the coil pack and pushing it back down, giving up instead of trying to break it, I no longer have the misfires. I will change the coil packs next summer if they last that long. I will have to manually remove any fused pieces of rubber from the coil pack / spark plug hole and clean it out properly when I do that. I hope this mistake can help others, searching for answers here, learn!
