Hello. My car started to misfire last week so I checked it and saw that I had a misfire in cylinder 2. I changed my spark plugs wires as well as my spark plugs and I still have the misfore in cylinder 1. I am assuming that the problem is my coil pack but since it costs alot of money I wanted a second opinion. Do you think thats what the problem is or could it be something else? Fuel injection?
Thank you for your time.

swap a coil pack with the cylinder that is misfiring... if the misfire moves to another cylinder, then you know that coil is no good... replace it... if the misfire stays in the original cylinder, then you may have an injector issue..
