What is your question?
At irregular intervals, my CEL illuminates with a blinking Cruise light. My OBD II reader says it's a cylinder #4 misfire. I've changed plugs. Engine has 90K miles. Mechanic says engine has coil packs, but not "wires" to change. No symptoms, though. No oil or coolant lose. Run 93 octane fuel faithfully. No rough idle, and I feel nothing when the CEL illuminates. Car runs like a swiss clock, so we're baffled. Any ideas on what's causing this?

coil, vacuum leak, injector or wiring issue. you need to let your mechanic diag it for you to pinpoint the failure. Roy
Thanks for your prompt reply. With plug changed, absolutely no rough idling or breakup under acceleration, we've ruled out vacuum leak, O2 sensor, and MAS for now. Replacing the injector and coil pack, since wiring checks out. Mechanic's "gut" says injector, but while we're in there, we'll get the coil, too, and do a quick compression check on #4. I'll report back. UPDATE: On my mechanic's advice, we replaced both coil and injector on #4. After three-plus weeks, no indicators, so I'd say, "Problem solved." Thanks.
