That's one thing I still enjoy with my '96 & '97 - no chip in the key.
The

Shouldn't hurt anything.
Btw: it doesn't have a coil and wires, it has a separate coil over each
plug
and there are no conventional spark plug wires. One thing you might try
is
to switch the coil at the cylinder with the misfire with one of the other
ones and see if the misfire code moves with it. That would be a big hint.
