For what it's worth, I just had the same thing on cylinder 2. Replaced coil, got it back together and had the same problem so I figured I screwed something up. Nope, cylinder 1 was throwing the code this time. I read somewhere that bad plugs could put strain on coils, so I switched out the coil and the plugs as well this time. Plugs looked good, but cyl 1 and 2 plugs didn't seem to be torqued very tight and oil was much higher on threads than the rest. Not sure what it means, just noticed a difference. All has been well since. 72K.
