Ok, Maybe I was wrong.. It's doing it again... this time a few more miss fire codes and the dealer wants to replace 4 of the Ingition coils thinking that will solve the problem... Now I'm lost.. What else can it be? It can't be 4 Ignition coils going at the same time...
What does the computer look for when triggering an Intermitten Ignition coil Code? Could it be a plugged fuel injector?
Any suggestions would be helpful... Thanks!

About a week later the problem came back, the car seem to be missing. I brought it back to the dealer and there were more codes.
- Misfire on #1,#2,#3
- ETC out of range for test
As it turns out it was the Cooling Temp Sensor after all. They replaced that and all is back to normal. It looks like it was getting a wrong reading and messing up the fuel curve and making it look like a coil was misfiring.
