Welcome to AF. And the code is? Sounds like you have gotten water in the ign system and it should dry up, leave the hood open in a warm area for a while. Don't drive with this misfire, you will ruin the cat.

If you still have a misfire look for water under the cap, the coil is in the cap correct, look at that also. and /or plug wire connections.

I was thinking about replacing the sparkplugs and wires, see if dat made any change, would it be too hard to get to them?? it doesnt look too accesible !!
