Had intake valves cleaned in December and the issue has not resurfaced. Coincidentally, cyls 4 and 6 were the nastiest looking IIRC.

Also, if you want to confirm a bad coil, reinstall your Cobb and swap coils on 4 & 6 with 3 & 5. If the misfire codes pop up on 3 & 5, there's your answer.
thanks for the info! no, valve cleaning job is on the horizon though.

EDIT: How much of a pain is it to swap coils?
