Thanks

I'll give replacing the all the plugs and the coils. The car's got 90k on it and I doubt the coils have ever been replaced. If this doesn't work then I'll try the DMF.

If a coil is not performing right you will get a misfire code for that cylinder. My 2000 S has it's original coils.

That’s a fair point and it definitely didn’t fix the issue, but now it’s got new coils which can’t hurt.
