Shoot, they're not much more than 10 bucks each and only require 10 minutes to install.
If that doesn't fix it, then you've likely got a fuel problem on #5.

Still not sure what this 'coil connector' is. I've only got one cylinder misfiring, cylinder #5, and it isn't getting spark. No spark. And again, no spark. So while there may very well be a fuel problem, not sure how that applies to *no spark*.
If you are talking about the 'posts' that the coil sits on which connect to the spark plug under the coil, the new coil came with a boot. Still, I have some spares I ordered just in case so I'll try swapping them too.
The only item left that isn't new is the wires that supply energy to the coils.
If this was an older chevy engine I'd swear it was a cracked distributor cap. But that doesn't seem to apply to this car.
Thanks.
