Finally got it looked at......... Was getting spark plugs changed and turns out that there was a valve cover gasket leak which was leaking onto the coils AND to the spark plugs causing the misfire.

Just get the cheapest one that ECS carries. I believe it's Victor Reinz or something like that. I've never had a problem with them and it's a super easy replacement.
