A couple days ago one cyclinder started to missfire, the check engine light is on and indicates a bad coil. I changed the coil and it continues not to fire I tried the same coil on a different cylinder and shocked the crap outta myself so it works. I tried a working coil from one cylinder in this location and nothing. I can't figure out why this coil isn't firing does anyone have any ideas. I used a multimeter and check the wire it's fine untill the wire loom I didn't wanna cut it open and I can't see why after 50,000 miles a wire in the wire loom would break. It's the cylinder closed to the drive (furtherest back on the dirvers side)

check compression in that cylinder. if you got some carbon buildup your resistance is gonna go up too. also your wire may have continuity but it could be grounding out before it gets the the spark plug. to check that get a wire and connect it to ground, start engine, then follow the spark plug wire up and down, if you get any sparks then that wire is bad. also check your distributor cap. and check to see that the plug is good too. thats
