You don't know if they ever got wet with oil (from leaking spark plug tubes) previously, or are just old and on their way out. If the insulator end of the coil pack gets even the slightest bit damaged, they will cause misfires.

Also, any moisture between the wiring harness weatherpack plugs and the coil pack can cause issues.
Looks like the gremlin is gone.
After I replaced thefuel filter, put in injector cleaner and filled up the tank.
I drove around still with the misfire.
after 10 miles the problem has gone away so far.
Even sitting over night the problem has not come back as of yet.

Thank you for all your help and advice!
