I did not change the coilpacks when I changed the plugs at 60k. It's got 63k now. The O2 sensors are about 15k old, same as MAF.

A set of coilpacks are almost $300! That's not like changing the wipers.

Wouldn't a port reader direct you to a certain coilpack to inspect? Have you pulled the plugs again? An inspection of the plugs might give you a lead on which cylinder is firing unlike the others. Three bills does sting but look at it this way, if you have to play a bit of "replace and pray" at least it isn't at $100.00 an hour with someone who doesn't love your car wrenching on it.
