When the car misfires it stores code(s) indicating which cylinder(s) backfired. The approach to diagnosis is different depending on whether it is isolated to one cylinder, one bank, or all cylinders.

That said, a common problem in these cars is cracked ignition coils. Does the problem get worse in the rain?[/quote]

There are no error codes being stored. As I mentioned, I replaced the ignition coils. The problem does not get worse in the rain.
