it could be a bad plug, bad coil, or bad wire. the only way to tell is to
replace things. the easy way is to swap the coil/wire with another
cylinder
and see if the misfire moves to the other cylinder. if it does, change the
coil/wire and be done with it. the coil/wire assembly only costs around
$40
