Yes it did, and then the rotor failed on a 300 mile road trip. So I replaced it and then I had some hesitation but it only lasted a day or so. Been driving fine until a few days ago when it started missing again. But there was a diagnostic done by the tow service and they said I needed a new rotor and cap. MAybe new wires and plugs. Old plugs were corroded, and 1 was even rusted.
