Hello, if the vehicle is not running properly, but you are not setting a code now, you probably will soon. You could wait for that, or you could have further testing performed -- using a suitable high quality diagnostic tool with component testing and data monitoring, you could check for cylinder balance and relative compression, would could lead you to suspect cylinders. You should probably perform a compression test on the engine to see if there is a base engine or cylinder head issue.
IF engine misfire is obvious at idle while looking at engine - disconnect wire connector at # 1 coil - IF no change in observations of engine idle - REPLACE failed coil.. Keep in mind the ‘remaining coils’ have the same age and mileage on them as well..
Since we know the misfire WAS on # 2 cylinder and the coils have been swapped - # 2 should now be firing ok - - this test will determine IF the misfire has actually moved to the # 1 cylinder that now has the suspect # 2 coil installed .. By removing the coil ‘wire connector’ you will be able to quickly determine IF the coil is firing the # 1 cylinder - by noting the change in engine idle rpm if the coil IS indeed firing - OR - the lack of change in engine idle rpm - IF the coil is NOT firing. It’s a pretty straight forward test that the DIYer should be able to perform. GOOD LUCK!
