Yeah, they can lose their ability to hold the proper charge...or they can just be defective and not hold the charge. I would also check that plug of swapping the coils around doesn't show any results.

Check the wires feeding the cylinder 4 cop.... There could be a break in the connector itself or in the wire... Also check the battery area for acid leaks, possibly chaffed wires in that area...

When you did the plugs, did you make sure to not get any anti seize on the grounding strap of the plug?

I checked all that already and yes i was very careful with the antisieze. I think it might be my ecm cuz the missfire seems to jump all over. Or my o2 sensors but im at the point where im so frustrated that if i even had to change my wipers i'd prob lose my mind.

Hopefully it wasn't a throttle body problem like mine...lol. Dealership said I changed my coils just fine and there was nothing wrong with them, but when they replaced the TB, it ran fine...lol.

Well i got my truck back yesterday and she runs like brand new. Turns out that one of the new spark plugs had a hairline crack in it causing it to spark sparaticly. So $100 later and lots of frustration i have my baby back.
