k heres whats weird. during this whole thing my ses light never came on and even more odd was the fact that my scanner at work didnt read any codes, however, the one at autozone did. theirs does look way newer and it also reads abs lights... and of course the scanner at midas found the code for the cyl. 4 miss. well i went and switched the coils and then on the way home boom... my ses light came on...lol. so tommorow ill find out what it says. this time it should read a cyl. 2 miss since thats the coil i traded. if it does then ive got a winner...
