That 6 misfire. You've changed plugs and wires, right? No vacuum leaks. Not losing coolant. You checked spark.

ARE you sure that speak plug is tight?

The only other things I can think of are the injector and compression. Very unlikely that a coil is the issue with just one cylinder acting up.
I just changed the plugs
I know I am going to up at 3AM wondering what a speak plug is.

I just googled it, its the plug connected by wire to the coil. A speak plug. LOL!

That makes much more sense than it being related somehow to Siri

Running better but still have the 5 & 6 miss(down from 10 codes). different coil but right next each other on the top of the coil. Correct? Makes me wonder if something chewed on the wires or boots right at the coil.

Quick video update while I wait to do wires coils and valve cover gaskets. Anyone know what this ringing/clang noise is? Right about 19 seconds in is where it is most prevalent. I thought maybe an idler pulley.

I can't hear any sound. That's probably my blackberry screwing me. But the engine LOOKS good!

Well, find something you can hear with and get back to me. On the engine being clean, a friend here suggested brake clean for vacuum leak detection. I guess it cleans the engine too. Bonus!

Didn't hear any strange sounds either, sounds like idle is high though.

Easiest way to check idlers/pulleys is to remove belt and rotate them by hand. Check for wobble, dragging and lack of lubrication. Tensioner, 2 idlers, alt, a/c clutch and water pump.
