If it is missfiring all the time, even at idle, you can find it the good old fashioned way by unplugging one coil at a time until you find the one that does not lower the idle when you unplug it.
My guess is that it will be a cop , and more likely than not need plugs. Good luck
Every thread I have found points to the COP. Trouble is without a code to pinpoint the cylinder I have to buy 8 coils. I guess worst case scenario is replace all plugs and coils.
Thanks for the input.
