Seafoam can't fix a misfire, you have a faulty coil or spring. Replace both and your misfire will go away

Sorry what do you mean by spring? I've got a replacement coil ready to go - just not happy that it's cylinder 4... Definitely the hardest one to get to!

The spring that connects the coil to the sparkplug.
