I dont think your motor needs to be rebuilt/replaced.

Now, I do think your car is cursed. lol

I think this is what Blue is suggesting to use to check the misfire. Unfortunately, #4 is the biggest pain to get into. https://www.amazon.com/Tool-Aid-36350-Line-Checker/dp/B000VULAQC

I have something similar but without the injector testers.

I'm in the same boat as you. 4 places and 4 different answers/suggestions/costs including the dealer. If mine continues I am having it shipped to KC rennsport for him to take care of but so far I am doing better (at the moment anyway)

Yes...Not as elaborate as that but for the money the one you provided the link to would be nice to have.

When you use something like that your testing the wiring to the coilpak and the coilpak and I believe the sparkplug all at once. Your not testing to ohm spec. but you know if your getting spark or not.

No need to undo wiring to the coils and move them around. just to see if a coil is faulty. Then you still have to test wiring and plug separate. switching coils side to side wastes time and is a incomplete test and a poor diagnostic procedure.
