Some years/engines use COPs (Coil-On-Plug)
and others use Coil Packs and spark plug wires.

it seems it still might have a slight miss still but no where how it was running . does it take a few days to start running normal . i feel i should replace the rest of the 6 cops . 2 have been replaced and about 2 wks ago all new plugs

ok so i replaced the cop #1 it ran good all day , not rough at like it was , and the check engine light went off . later in the day the check engine light went back on i wonder if the cop went bad cause it was a pretty cheap one off on ebay . I will go to autozone and see what code it threw

do your self a favor and just replace the plug anyway....you already have the COP off...for 4 bucks y are you monkeying around when you could have a bad plug
Get used to cylinder misfires......when you find out what cylinder it is just replace the COP AND the plug....its 4 dollars!!!!
a garage will usually replace both for 30 -40 bucks if you cant do it your self

Yes they can. I bought one of the bargain sets from a recommended seller on ebay and 1 was dead on arrival.

Forgive this obvious question: Did you check the plug gap out of the box?
