Take the coil off cylinder 7 and move it up front to 5 or 1 see if the miss moves if it does replace the coil.

new cop on cylinder #7. Runs great now. i didn't bother swaping it to another cylinder. i have had a few of these go bad and was pretty sure it was cop, just needed to know what cylinder. i printed the dtc list so now i am good to go in the future. it is nice having the super chips for diagnostics instead of paying 80 bucks to put on a computer at a shop. thanks for the quick responces guys.
